Poor man (with kids) CLK black series?

Call me crazy, but a used CLK63 convertible below $60k for low mileage (check eBay) seems like a good bargain. It is just as fast as the Black Series and the C63 (check the road tests) -- and the 600's for that matter -- in a straight line, has backseats for the kids, and is convertible. Throw some 19 inch wheels on it, possibly lower it, and it seems like a performance bargain for everyday street use. The only drawback I see is the wimpy single-dual tip exhaust and that C63's may be in the $50k's soon when a few used ones come on the market or this economy continues to tank.

Anyone agree/disagree?

No Black, no care...

To me you cant fake it, and there IS a difference. That being said, there is NOTHING wrong with a CLK63, but its NO black series
