right now im leaning towards premier or alpine because they both have time correction, but i hear the kenwood has really fast access times on their mp3 playing

the pioneer should not even be part of this question.

Either of the alpines will give you great sound and great reliability... i'd say alpine's MP3 reading is pretty quick.

The second kenwood appeals better to me, the first one is way too flashy, but are both confusing to use to me (i'd get used to one if I had it though).

i have the kenwood thats the level below the second one that is in your options. keep in mind that there is no pre-amp for some of these HUs (although im sure you know that) if i were you id go with either of the alpines or the second kenwood, either way you will be getting a great product, probably three of the best out there. not to say they are the three best but they are definately up there in the rankings! go check em out yourself play with them a bit and see what fits your needs the most. i love my kenwood!
