I like the SLK for the engine and the lighter weight which makes it feel more responsive. I also like the size, so I can park it without worrying about someone dinging my doors - a constant problem with my S-Class.
I might end up in an SL again someday, but for now I'm enjoying the ride in my little SLK!
