We did the same thing. I could have lived with either one (we were
going to buy whichever had the better deal) but I actually thought the
Odyssey had a little firmer ride and handled a little better.
Everything about the Sienna was so light-feeling. I like a little
'heft' and feeling in my controls. That, the 8-seating capability and
an excellent lease deal had us buy thr Odyssey.

Since you have an AWD van now, I'm assuming you live in the snow belt
somewhere...? So, unless you're talking about the 4matic version of
the Benz, I'd pass on the R350.
