Really depends on what you want out of it chip....

CDs, MP3s, Seperate Sub output....Deck power or preamp only...

Plus there is the pimp factor....Mptprized faces and cool effects and stuff.

I like my Alpine...its the 7995 like it says in my sig.

Visit Alpines site to compare the different models and then buy one off of ebay or something.... If you look in the latest car audio magazine evry featured car in there had an Alpine head unit....( they may be the F1 Status really expensive ones but they are still Alpine)

I have a sony cdx-750...something, it's pretty nice looking (and sounds great with the mono amp and 2 12's) but hard to find 'cuz they don't make 'em anymore...got it on e-bay for $100...

I have the 7894 like you are looking at, I love it. Made my stock speakers sound mucho better. Its got some bling bling to it also, motorized face and mp3 player. I got mine for 304 shipped at www.discountsjungle.com

good luck with your decision, but I would go with alpine. They are the best decks on the market as long as you stay away from the cheap ones.
