Default XM Radio or iPOD? Need advice

So at the NW Scion Da Vinci Code screening I won an Audiovox XC9 XM satellite receiver, including 3 months of subscription free! Which is awesome. I've been using my ipod attached to the Aux, which has been fun, but i've been looking for a way to improve my interface. I think that the Sat Radio could be a good solution- tons of music and easily controlled by a remote.

However, i went to car toys today and they gave me a BIG price quote to install the sat radio cleanly- meaning powered by the stereo and wired direct (no FM transmission).

So i'm thinking now, with the install price and the monthly, wouldn't it be cheaper for me to get a Drive + Play for my ipod. Anybody have advice? Have a Drive + Play and love it? In love with your satellite radio? Or wanna help me install one for cheap?

Didnt opt for the I-Pod port as I don't have a I-Pod. But i do have Sat Radio, and love it. I got 9 monts free Sirius Sat Radio from Longo.

My boss has a Plug/Play I-Pod FM transmitter in his G35 and complains of a little static.

I'm really curious if anybody has the Harman Kardon drive and play thing in a tc- because i don't know where i would mount the control ****, unless i filled in one of the cupholders with something (which isn't out of the question, because one of them is taken up pretty much full time by my ipod anyway!)
