I think it's important to keep in mind the reason for why you're buying the car in the first place. From what I gather, you're looking for something that's fast, handles well (but doesn't need to handle like a sports car) and is comfortable for 5 people. It sounds to me like the ML63 puts a check mark in all these categories. MB makes great daily drivers. Other than maybe the SLS, they're not sports cars and shouldn't be compared to such. They're made to get places in a lot of luxury at a very fast pace. I'm not a huge fan of the ML's new styling (kind of bland), but they do produce a convincing package.

I did - I got the ML63 in Slate Grey (see page 1 for pics I took at the dealership).
Three days in - dont miss the Cayenne TT at all. The ML is impressing me at every corner.
As I mentioned previously - there is a tinge more body roll than the Porsche - but the trade off for the nicer interior, better seats, exhaust note, thicker steering wheels, better overall driving feel is way worth it.
I am still amazed how MB/AMG is able to do this ML63 for $110K Fully Fully loaded. My porsche priced out at $132,500 and this car, has essentially ALL the same features, and 50 more horses and 60 more torque for 30K less -
I love my 911 - its hard to find anything to replace that car to me. What's the Cayenne?
Time to leave the office and get in my ML :-) yippie!
