Both are excellent cars, but the M550 is far from pointless. I will assume you have not spent much time behind the wheel of one - it is more than the sum of it's parts. The M550 is not simply a big engine stuffed into a bland car. The 300 pound weight difference is more then offset by the increase in power. In reality, both cars are more than anyone really needs - but the M550 ticks a lot of boxes for a 500HP+, leather wrapped 4 door sedan that can run with most any street car it meets.
