Default Alpine 7893 or 7894? Please help me choose...

I am in the process of purchasing a Alpine 7893 or 7894 CD receiver.

7893 Specs:



• 60W x 4 V-Drive Hybrid Amplifier
• Bass Engine® Plus
- Media Xpander™
- 4-Channel Digital Time Correction
- 3-Position 12dB/Octave Crossover
- Subwoofer Level Control with Phase Selector
- Bass Center Frequency and Width Control
- Treble Center Frequency Control
• XM Satellite Radio Ready
• CD-R/RW Playback
• Versatile-Link™ Ready
• KCA-410C Multi-Versatile Link Terminal Compatible
• MaxTune SQ Tuner
• Regulated 1Bit DAC
• 4 Volt Subwoofer PreOut (2V front/rear)
• 3 PreOuts
• Silver Finish with Bright Blue LEDs
• Swing Mechanism with Detachable Face
• RUE-4187 Wireless Remote Control Included

7894 adds:



·4 V PreOut (Front/Rear/Sub) with DC-DC Converter
• MP3, CD-R/RW Playback
• CD Text and MP3 ID3 Tag Information Display
• Blackout Display (Save power from display for better sound)

I prefer the look of the 7893 but I prefer the features of the 7894. 7894 is about 50 to 80 bucks extra on ebay.

If you were me which would you buy and why?

Thanks
