Default Pioneer 8200NEX vs. Kenwood DNX893S

I'm trying to decide between these two units for my ZR1. Anyone have experience with one or both?

The Linux based is is much faster for startup
the ease of front and rear cameras
The GArmin Nav
2 year warranty
neg tilt adjust on screen
hires audio
to name a few

I am having the 8200 installed next week. They have a $150 rebate in effect through the end of the year. I will let you know my thoughts after the install.

I am doing the 7200 in a few weeks in a complete high end install with sound deadening. I hope i didn't make the wrong choice!!!

I installed the 8200 last week. Love it so far and I have only scratched the surface of the available features. The ZR1 is not my DD so it will be awhile before I figure it all out. Big improvement in the overall sound of the system, too. I don't think you will have regrets.
