Wondering which deck to get

I was wondering between two head units, the Kenwood KDC-MP735U or the Pioneer DEH-P6900UB? Or if both of these are craptastic, should I just take it in the wallet like a man and get the Alpine iDA-X001?

Ive read on a few forums, if you plan on using an ipod, the x001 is the way to go.
Supposed to sound great and be very easy to scroll through tracks.

Dont know anything about the other two decks tho.

Out of those choices I would take the Pioneer. Its been proven time and time again. Though other things might factor you decsion. Check on how much input voltage your amp can take then try to get a deck to match as close as possible. Try not to drop below 4v at the very least. Also any SQ features that you might want.

If you are considering Pioneer, step up into the Premiere model at least. If you are after a good cd player, step up into Eclipse and the CD3100 + IPC106 Ipod interface.

The Alpine IVA W205 are coming out very soon.

If have noise issues see about getting a higher pre out voltage. Line drivers are fairly cheap ebay route.
