You used rust cure on the pistons? I'd have expected the surface to be to messed up.

I've aksed both a dealer and indie and they wouldn't service the brakes on a Merc I don't use much - I think the indie would have done it if I'd insisted, but he made it clear enough he didn't want to. I reckon it's because the profit on the parts is as much as the labour charge and there's less cleaning when fitting new parts.
