hey guys i was playing with a SONY CDX-M3DI head unit the other day at cicuitcity and DAMN... that unit an incredible display. awesome full color screen (the kind that they put on laptops) with beautiful animations and videos. now this's obviously the decks selling point, but its got some decent output and sound EQ's an stuff too. plus there's outputs to use an external amp. now i know sony car audio isn't exactly top of the line when it comes to sound quality. i just wanted to know whether it's anything noticeably bad. i'm not an audiophile but i'm also a musician and do my own home recording so i'm not exactly sonicaly impaired. before this i was leaning towards getting a high end alpine deck, but the displays just don't compare.

so yea, i'm looking for sound quality but appearance an stuff is definately important to me too. anyone have experience with this deck or know anything about it? thanks in advance!
