To be honest with you I have had a number of MB's that came with Conti's and have not been satisfied with them. They wear quickly and become noisy when they start to wear. My wife has the Dunlop sport's on her S550 and so far they have been a very nice tire.

The Dunlop SP Sport 01 is an excellent tire, I would be quite happy with that vs the Continental.

The BEST tire in that size would be the Pirelli PZero.
