Honestly, I can't miss what I never had! At the dealer I did sit in the 6.3 and they were more than happy to go get the keys. I knew I would fall in love with the power so I quickly got out of that thing and moved over to the 550. While the extra power and prestige would be nice, the 550 is plenty of car for me. I didn't buy the car to race so the 4.3 seconds is not a motivator. So far I haven't had any trouble passing anybody on the road when needed. The other good thing is I didn't have to re-fi the house to get it.
I still say if you can afford it, the AMG is the way to go but the 550 is an excellent choice as well.
