W222 w/MBC vs W221 w/ABC: FEEL ANY DIFFERENCE?

I had a 2013 S550 with ABC, 18" wheels and conventional tires. My 2015 S550 sedan has MBC, 18" wheels and conventional tires. I cannot tell the difference in the ride. Approaching a bump or dip, I am always hoping for the MBC to magically make the bump disappear, but it never does. I was hoping for a more dramatic difference. Anyone else out there feel the same?

For MBC to work:
1) Must be in comfort mode
2) Must have your foot pressing on the accelerator
3) Must have clear view from camera to road surface
4) Must be in sunlight

Doesn't work really on potholes. More like road unevenness or speed bumps.

Veryinteresting observation, I was also expecting MBC to be significantly better.
