I'd pick the Black over the Aston. I think it'll hold its value better.

 

I too am sorry about your loss. As for the cars, all MB's AMG's seem to have have huge first year losses. I learned the hard way. This car will be no different in my opinion. I turned down my allocation just because I didn't want to take another risk. I think it will be a great car however and only you can decide what's best. Everything worth enjoying costs money.
