Kenwood KDC-MP8017 or Aiwa CDC-MP32???

Well, I figured I'd go ahead and start looking for a new head unit. I got my Sony back and hooked up today and I realized again how bad I dont' like it lol. So this summer when I get a job I think I'll just get a new head unit. I want a CD/MP3 player this time so I won't have as many CD-R's in my car I can just get like one CD-R and have hundreds of songs on there. That'd be cool. But I also want one that has that stealth look ya know? Like the Kenwood KDC-MP8017 or Aiwa CDC-MP32. They both are in the Crutchfield magazine for $249.95 and $279.95. I can get them on eBay for cheaper though. The Kenwood has 2 sets of preouts at 1.8V... and Aiwa has 2 sets at 2.2V... is that gonna make a difference in the sound? And does anyone have any suggestions or recommend either one of these? Thanks

Most aiwa stuff is crap, and I doubt that one particular model is much different. The best MP3 players I've used are the Alpine, JVC and the Kenwood. Personally I'd pick the JVC.

because I always felt that if my deck had a black and white motion video of somebody's feet, it would finally be perfect.

What happened to good old numeric displays?

i myself plan on going with the new digifine series of jvc. got to see one of the first decks out, and it was beautiful. sh707 is lookin pretty good, for some reason i swear i saw a 909, but i'm probably wrong. these decks are unbelieveable feature wise and quiality wise. and no silly dancing feet
