IMO the 7G is not a must for all cars, there might be some types of cars that require such trans, but am sure most of the cars can do with other kinds of trans.
But I think MB is using this trans. for two reasons:
1. The cars that don't need this trans power wise are offered with this trans just for the smoothness and the fuel efficiency.
2. The cars with high outputs MB produce need such trans.
Or maybe its just to say hey we have a 7 gear trans
And yes I`ve heard of the 2 reverse gears.

Yeah i heard that to that it has 2 reverse gears.. one point of having 2 reverse gears.. is that when you put it in winter mode.. it can select the 2nd rear gear.. wich should be heavier.. that could help you get the car movin off the spot if its slippery..
