Here is my take, I might be biased today but I was an owner of several benzes so the respect is there. I posted this at MBWorld:

I have an M6- have had an E55 (210 and 211) plus a CL65. For me its not just about acceleration, the exhaust note on my M6 is to die for. I also love the driver involvement that the high rev'ing S85 engine brings to the table. The brake feel and steering feel IMO are better than the Benzes that I have had. Now the Black Series is another story

Its not the easiest car to drive though, you always have to be in the sweet spot but the gearing of the car over 100 is just flat out amazing. Mine is modded enginewise with pulley, software, filters, exhaust, and air scoops so its not gonna kill any AMG but it pulls and it flies on the highway. Whats amazing is the exhaust note on this car, it eliminates the necessity for a radio and honestly- if I lose in a race I dont really care like I used to if I lost when my E55 was stock.

Both my most recent Benzes have shown that they are amazing from a dig and great slower speed racers especially in traffic where all you have to do is mash and go. The M6 requires some premeditation and the power (tq wise) is not always there unless you know how to drive it. I know the OP has already made up his mind but I figured that Id post some pics of my car. As mentioned before the M6 is not for everyone but it grows on you and the I love the car. This coming from a guy whose last Benz dyno'd with 557 rwhp (CL65) and a stage III E55 that had about 500 rwhp and now is even faster in the hands of a good friend.

Here are some pics, and for some perspective there is one pic with a tastefully modded CLS63 too. And I attached a low res video of my car in Mexico:
