I have never ever activated the cruise control when trying to signal in a Mercedes-Benz, and I find the mono-stalk to work well. Really the only difference is that it has wiper controls (since most cars have signal and high beams in one stalk). I find the BMW way more confusing, since I can never remember which direction does a single wipe and which direction actually turns them on (one of them is up on the stalk, one is down, don't ask me which one was which). And you can't actually know by feel which wiper setting you are in since the BMW stalks are fixed. The Mercedes has completely different actions for single wipe (push button) and activating wipers (rotate the knob) and since the knob rotates, you have tactile feedback of which setting you are in.
