Its hard to tell exactly what the system feels like on the SLK because the brake system is basically electric only if the computers fail is your foot actually having any direct effect on the pistons 99.9% of the time its computer controlled you moving your foot is simply asking it to brake this can lead to a numb feeling and small vibrations are not fed back to the pedal because its isolated.

I have never had any probs with the MB stock ones they seem to be just right for road use so i would highly recommend them if they are not currently fitted if they are then maybe look into the calipers pistons.
