Sprint booster or Pedal Commander on my 2017 S550

I really feel the throttle tip in (power without pressing down on the pedal) on my 2017 S550 is not enough (plenty when I floor it) and am thinking about trying a Sprint Booster or Pedal commander to increase it. Even in sport mode the car is not as lively as I know it can be. It's strange because I use to to own a 2015 S550 and the throttle tip in seemed much better. Makes me wonder if 2 years later MB made the throttle not as sensitive do to complaints or something? Looks to be a really easy install. 2 bolts on the pedal and a plug in connection. Anybody have any experiences with these on their S class. It does not have any chance of voiding a warranty either unlike a Tune which can. It might be enough just to make the car feel that much more responsive and faster.

SB on and you can drive around in Comfort/Economy mode as the quicker throttle plate gives you torque earlier .
