My friends and I have used Pioneer head units mostly. With their flashy displays (animation, screensavers, etc...) it has me thinking, are you paying for the display or the sound quality?

People stand by Alpine products and dispute they are some of the best in the business, which I'm sure is undoubtly true. I'd love to hear some personal experiences with either of the two models mentioned or anything else I should be aware of. I'm leaning towards the Alpine...but here are my two choices:

Alpine 7897


Pioneer Premier 940mp(Pioneer 9400 pictured)
