OK, but there's a concern about using a power bleeder like you have (from each caliper) and forcing the fluid through the ABS system (if fitted). I bought the same system you have that works off a compressor and has the brake bleeding attachment.
I looked at the instructions for power bleeding the ABS system and you make use of a bleed valve on the ABS unit itself. They tell you how to do it in the Bentley Owner's Bible, for example. But my ABS unit has no bleed screw....so I'm not so sure I want to vacuum force fluid through it.
I would try to find some existing instructions (if any), on using a power bleeder for individual brake cylinders on the MB ABS system. Or, you could jury rig the pressure bleeders linked here in the posts.....still need a bleeder valve on the ABS pump.
You don't have to run back and forth to the MC...just have a stooge (or a kid) stand there and put fluid in the reservoir.
