I would disagree.
It is not a "bargain" when they on purpose software limit the power, and ask you extra money to "unlock" it.
They have made the 450 (and the EQE 350) uncompetitive with other cars in the same class.
You bought the hardware, and you should be entitled to the full potential of the hardware in the first place!
It's like you bought a laptop with 16GB RAM, but you can only use 8GB.
The laptop manufacturer asked you to pay $$$ to let you use the other 8GB RAM - and you would call that a bargain?
AMG is quite different. Apart from the motor (which I am not sure if it is the same), the suspension, brakes etc are upgraded. The steering wheel has extra control, Dynamic Select have extra modes.
The trims and wheels are different. So you can never "software upgrade" into an AMG version.
