MB Titanium steering wheel replacement with Airbag seems inferior.

Hi All,
I posted a comment in the airbag thread but felt this deserves its own thread.
We have just had our Airbag replaced in our MB titanium and when we picked the car up, we found out the steering wheel was also replaced.
My issue with this is the new steering wheel is quite soft where as the original Titanium Steering wheel was very firm which I preferred.
The new wheel also feels quite cheap.
The service centre jut said that’s what wheel it gets replaced with as the old wheel isn’t compatible with the new airbag.
Has anyone else had a titanium steering wheel replaced and if so I’d you get the soft wheel?

I know we should be gratefull for the new steering wheel but both myself and my wife really prefer the solid feel the original shell had so are really disappointed in the swap over.
