Default Double DIN options? (C6 coupe, replacing non-nav Bose)

I'm curious what the selection of double DIN units is like out there as far as what's recommended. Right now I have a base C6 Coupe with Bose, no nav & no XM.

Stuff I want:
-USB port (front)
-Aux in (front)
-Touch screen
-XM compatibility (I have a subscription already, but let the receiver go with the last car and am willing to get the new compact receiver unit)

Stuff I don't care about:
-Nav
-CD player
-DVD/Video

I'm eventually going to put together a front soundstage setup using the door locations and a sub (possibly tweeters in the A-pillars). I do not plan on using the rear speaker locations or the center speaker location.

I still have a 10" sub and HiFonics Zeus 5-channel amp from my last car, but desire to go stealth might take me in a different direction.

That is a NICE unit. I have its little brother the 8200BT. You will love the functionality of the SD card--1000 songs on one 8GB chip. The front USB is awesome--I use it for podcasts, audiobooks, etc. FWIW--the 8200BT get the best radio reception of any H/U I have ever owned (C5 vert with OEM antenna)
