E - Active Body Control worth having?

I am in the market for a new car, and test drove the 2020 GLE last weekend. I was really impressed with it. I am working on building a configuration. Can anyone tell me what the E-Active Body Control does/is? Is it worth having on a GLE? Ergonomics followed by performance are my 1 and 2 criteria respectfully.

I posted some thoughts here: https://mbworld.org/forums/gle-class...ml#post7780731. Read that and let me know if you have any questions. I would order it again, but as I stated, the upcoming Active Ride Control in the 53 would be my preference for the price.

E active is not available in the UK but the air suspension is brilliant.
