I'm not sure that price is truly the deciding factor, particularly when you add some of the "standard" CL63 options like the AMG Sport Package, dynamic seats, etc to the price of a CL550. The actual price differential between the two models could be less than you think. I think a more valid statement could be that the CL600, which is 45% higher, is the real price issue vehicle for CL550 buyers. Also, some CL buyers (but none I know!) might object to the CL63 20" wheels having too firm a ride and the "burbling" exhaust being a bit too noisy. I also have a rather large friend who drives a CL (W215), but felt the AMG style seats were a bit too tight. The CL600 has none of these issues, only the price.
