I was looking into that one last night....looks like a very nice unit....anyone know how Alpine compares to the new Pioneers, as far as ease of use?

I think the Pioneers are easier to use but the Alpines are faster between
tracks and you can search the disc while still listening to the current
song.

I find the Pioneer decks *far* easier to use, and really despise the Alpine
user interface. Although the Alpine decks have a better CD SNR as well as
iPersonalize, and Media Xpander. You may also want to look into Blaupunkt's MP3
compatible decks.

I have the opposite opinion. I had a Pioneer 3500 and returned it due to
the glare on the display (my car's dash angles up more than average)
and replaced it with an Alpine 9811. I like the Alpine's button layout
better than the Pioneer.
