ml 550 ride quality

before i purchased the ml i test drove the ml350, it had a great magic carpet ride. the ml 550 w/o air suspension feels clunky and stiff over rough pavement. probably due to the added 200lbs over the front...the ml63 rides smoother. thanks for posting the 2013 order guide...i will now order with active cure package or maybe the off road package with the designo interior and hopefully the granite in place of wood trim..my dream is to have the granite. does anyone have the air suspension or test drove to compare the ride to the steel sprung clunker.

550 with airmatic here, it's got a great ride. On comfort it's smooth and soft and hit the sport button and it tightens right up and gets very firm. I love it.
