One other thing about the Benz Nav that my Toyota Sienna Nav lacks is that "shrinking bar" that indicates remaining distance. I like that. When you are in traffic and have a lot of things to pay attention to, being able to tell at a glance how fast you are closing or your next turn is nice.

And it is particularly nice to have it displayed in the MFD. It is kind of amazing how much easier it is to just glance down and read the MFD versus looking to the side and trying to find the information of interest and refocus on it. And when looking at the main display, it is much harder to see what is coming up in front of you from the corner of your eye than when you are looking down at the MFD.

(just returned from a long trip in the van so I was paying attention to stuff like that)
