I think they were concerned about making the two too similar quality wise and thereby dent Mercedes sales. So they used the Infinity radio along with all the model airplane plastic in the console and instrument board.
I bought mine as a daily driver so the interior didn't bother me. And I still got the performance at a better price point!
