Hey guys...so I'm about to purchase a new headunit and I've got it narrowed down to these two. SQ wise, they both sounded pretty good at best buy, maybe slight edge to alpine. The pioneer seems to have more (too many?) options. They both cost me about $250. Also...the sales guy said he would give me the 9855 (high end, crazy features) for the same price as the 9853=$350. I don't want to spend more than 300, but thats a GREAT deal on a Sick HU!

Anyone who HAS either of the 2 listed Headunits (preferably in their tc) please let me know what u think...but I don't need random opinions from non-owners.

Thanks!
