Just a quick update on some of the things I have learned about alternatives to the M2.

My local Freightliner dealer (Transwest Trucks) confirms that a 330 HP, 1000 lb-ft torque version of the 7.2l MBE 926 is now available in the M2. As you noted, this engine is not available with the 6sp Ultrashift.
The tighter turning radius, mounting the batteries under the cab, reinforced frame rails, and purported better fuel mileage currently have the M2 at the top of my short list.
