I have the ML and it sounds ok, but I'm not blown away by the sound quality. I used to dabble in home hifi so my standards might be a bit high.

Comparing a home sound system to a car sound system is a huge difference. For example road noise.

The ML system sound great to me for a stock system and not to mention the price (i have a ML non-nav).

I've got ML and have compared it to the stock Pioneer. The ML has much better highs and separation of sound. It's probably the best factory OEM system I've heard. The bass is good but an aftermarket sub would make the system somplete.

It took me several months to find the car I have now. For me, ML was a must have. I had several opportunities to purchase a vehicle without ML, with every other option I was looking for, but I wasn't going to compromise. Which explains why I had to travel over 900 miles and then drove it back (Indianapolis all the way to Dallas!) to find this specific car. In the end, it was well worth the work & wait.
