Default Which head unit? I'm confused

I'm reading and reading and thought I was decided on a Kenwood, model 6980 or 7180, then I read about the Pioneer 130. I then get on Crutchfields website and read reviews. It seems that there is not a perfect unit, either someone is complaining about the gps speed or cutting out or some other complaint..............and of course I read that the factory navi stinks too. So which one? My car in transit does not have the Navi but does have a factory Bose.

I also like the Clarion Nx 501. Anyone have?

thanks if you can help

I have the Pioneer Z120 and love it, I think its a toss up between the Pioneer and Kenwood but I would check with Dennis at Double D Mods, he can give you a comparsion and also give you the best price,

Like you stated, they all have good points and bad points. Kenwood has a great Nav, Pioneer a great interface. For me, the interface was more important as I rarely use the Nav. So I went with the Pioneer 930 from Dennis. I picked it over the 130 as I thought it had more of a stock look and I wanted a volume ****. I couldn't be happier. The interface in the Pioneer is just awesome.
