I bought the Sir Tools clone of the MB special tool for that outer spring

you get it perfectly lined up, which is not always easy - the brake shield

Yes and furthermore, Mercedes has a much better parts availability than many
other cars. Finding OE interior parts on many ten year old cars is nearly
impossible. Not so with Mercedes.
Asian cars parts are also quite pricey, more so than quality European car
parts. Honda is one example.
