Their opinions do not conform to my experience. I had the OM603 SDL running at 80 mph through MT on I-90 and I-94 to cross the state with no issue, other than a 3am blizzard that was tossing other cars into the median and ditches. The OM617 in the SD only got lead footed to 80 for long stretches on I-5 for about 3 hours. Steady and no runaway. The OM606na would run at those speeds for 10 hours at a stretch, tank to tank. Even the W220 on 24 slogs at 85pmh had no issues… only gasser benz I can speak to. The OM615 was ok blasting along at 70mph all day long and held 84mph for many minutes (floored) until I chickened out and let up. None unstable at top speeds.
