Sorry to the S65 lovers but I already have an AMG in the stable. I decided to go for more Luxury since the 2010 comes with the most luxurious options and seems to be the perfect S class out of the 5 different available.

Many thanks for all the help guys!

Congratulations! There was no bad decision to be made here, only one of two good ones.

Congratulations! I own one and I still love it as much as the day I drove off the lot with it. Best car in the world.
The extra $50K is a lot to pay for a .2 second time difference and to get a speedo de-limited up to 190mph (more than double the legal limits anyway).

This thread is in the wrong place - it should be over in the AMG section. That's where the real enthusiasts for the AMG product can be found.

Save your money and get the Renntech S600 ECU upgrade.... you'll have 640hp vs the S65's 604 hp.
