Hard to go wrong with either and I'd say go with whomever you have the best relationship with as it will pay off in the long run.

I'd highly recommend the Driver Assist Pkg as the radar systems are truly outstanding. Also, keep in mind the sport package can now be had with 20" AMG wheels for only $750 over the 19" AMG wheels.

Are you gonna look at the S400 Hybrid or are you focusing just on the S550?

I suggest checking out the American Express Auto Purchasing Program (provided through ZAG); they have some nice discounts on 2010 models that put them almost at invoice.
