I just did a topend job on my '99EC200. Below is a photo of the piston. My take on the read is that all looks well, but I'd like to hear from the experts.
History, this is the original piston and it has 1.75 years of use. New rings were installed about 6 months ago during a bottomend rebuild. At that time it was deemed that the piston was still looking good but should be replaced when I did the topend by midsummer.
