Yeah I have the Pioneer Premier 740MP and that ***** probably performs better. I do like the look of that deck, but its nice to see the Organic LED screen at night time and all the songs at your disposal. Only thing is that I cant remember where I put the songs that I want, and it takes about 5 seconds between switching tracks to start the a song. However I did not pay an outrageous $500!!! I got it for half that.....i guess I ran into the best deal ever. But N E ways....good choice.....Pioneer owns Sony!
