would you recommend getting the Japanese version for the listed reasons?

or now that it will be available, would you wait to get it here?

I think it's the best deck made to date, althougn $1200 ouch. 4 preouts is the shizznit. Why would you even consider buying a deck at this cost with a built in amplifier? Loving what Pioneer is doing with car audio these days, although still a little behind HT and Home audio, they are getting there, now they just have to realize that we don't all play in the NBA and can't afford these damn things.

The Amp in question is a small external 6 channel amp that comes with the Japanese version... Avidedtr has photos posted you can see it. It's a small box...

Sweet god that's a lot of money for a head unit. I'll stick with the 5030...

The Pioneer P01 and P99 is the first DECK IMHO to have everything needed in one unit.

Decks I've used and consider good.
Denon Z1 ( THE KING )
Eclipse CD 7200mkII
RFX-8240
Eclipse 8053
Eclipse 5302 first deck I ever owned
