From what I understand, the 350's come w/ a black grill, and the 500's come w/ a chrome grill? Is that right?

Alpine Rain .. hrm, the black w/ chrome slats will provide more contrast and look better IMO. I'm basing this on the fact that I want to order a silver ML350 and I think the black w/ chrome looks best.

I also have alpine rain, and Im going to actually paint the grill the same color. That will look crazy, I suggest you do the same.

Definitely not a bad idea, may look even better but personally Id keep the ribs of the grill chrome for some better contrast
