Buying Large 4X4 - Range Rover or Mercedes-Benz?

Which would be the better buy? I'm thinking of a 2009 Mercedes-Benz ML320 CDi or 2008-'09 Range Rover Sport HSE 2.7. I have a budget of about £25K.

I currently run a 53 plate Mercedes-Benz E320 CDi Avantgarde Estate and absolutely love it but time for a change.

I actually quite like Range Rover Sport, and they are much better to drive on the road than MLs. But I trust the chain cam Mercedes V6 diesel more than the belt cam V6 diesel in the Range Rover.
