Do you want normal CD or MP3? You should check out the new Eclips one aswell. Looks awesome and I'm sure it'll perform that way too.

Eclipse has mp3 decks coming out(well under $450), or you can get their new 5 volt with internal power for like $380. I would venture to say it will sound better than others in its price range(and many outside its price range). As for the "toning" options, you may find, with an eclipse, that it sounds pretty damn good right out of the box. The local shop, whenever they install eclipses, rarely have to mess with them much at all. When they do installs with other brands that customers bring in(pioneer, alpine, etc), there seems to be alot more tuning going on. I, for one, prefer to not have to mess with my head unit much at all. I remember a guy on 1 of the forums like a year ago saying how he got his new head unit(pioneer I believe), and he talked about tuning it for FOUR HOURS in the Texas heat to get it to sound just right. Um, to me, having to tune a deck for 4 hours is NOT a good thing. Just my opinion, I could be wrong.
