I agree. The Sprinter is one of the cleanest and most straight-forward oil changes I have done with the exception of my old Porsche which also had a cannister type oil filter and only around 3 quart capacity. I drain using the oil pan plug.... I personally like DIY because it actually saves me time just doing it in my driveway and I know it is done right, but everyone is built different.

The other advantage which I feel applies with older vehicles and a DIY oil change is that it gets you under the vehicle to look around for problems. That often allows you to respond to issues before it becomes something major.
Just make certain that your oil catch container is large enough. 9.5 quarts from the T1N and 13.5 quarts from an NCV3 is what you will be containing and transferring for disposal.
Engine Oil Level - The Sprinter has a high and low oil level sensor and dash indication. It does NOT have an oil pressure monitor or gauge. It is fairly sensitive to over filling at oil change. The T1N takes 9.5 quarts of oil. The NCV3 needs 13.5 quarts. Not a drop more. Do not dump in that extra last 1/2 quart of the 10 or 14 you bought. When I change my oil I personally leave the last 0.5 quart for later.
