A/c question

I own 3 w210s. A 1999 E300TD 240K miles, another E300TD 105K miles and a 1998 E320 wagon 61K miles. I live in a place where a/c is required pretty much year round. Recently the high mileage E300 required leaky evaporator replacement which is beyond the scope of my technical capabilities. The local independent shop did a great job and now the a/c is ice cold but the service cost almost US$7K. Will the other 2 eventually come to this fate and if so what are the alternatives to the full dash out replacement?

Memorial Day Sunday

There was clearly a lot of parking drama today - nixle texted at 7:30AM saying all parking in the valley was full! But we arrived at the arch rock gate at 5:40 and there was plenty of parking. We were on the upper Yosemite Falls trailhead by 6. What a gorgeous day!
