Talking Looking to get an Excelon

I am finally getting a new car and able to put a proper radio in my car (dont ask) and the one that I think I have decided on is the Kenwood Excelon KDC-X693 or depending on pricing the KDC-X993 I was originally looking at getting and alpine 9886 and adding the H700 but was told the kenwood would be better. What are your opinions on this, it will be running Clarion SS601 speakers (amp'ed separate) and a sub, I have an iPod and iPhone that I would use as sources most of the time and liked the 24bit DAC. Also could the vendors on here give me prices for one shipped to Burlington Ontario unless they are local (gta).
Thanks
