The best thing about the 860 is the dolphins. If you own one, you know what I'm talking about.

i actually wasn't a fan of that one, i downloaded the island one...dang i love that one, and yes the 860 over the 8600 is a no brainer, pro mode is simply something you'll fall in love w/ once you use it, it's so easy to use and setup an awesome active setup in no time

I have the 8600..You have to make sure your amp can take 6.5volts...thats quite a bit, and not every amp is designed for that. Of course it will be a cleaner signal, but like someone said, you have to figure out your amps input voltage range before you buy.
I love my 8600 though, its awesome. I use the AUX input to run my port. DVD player so I hear the DVD through my speakers, thats an awesome feature. You can make your own videos (but you have to make them from a single picture, I used a picture from Scarface). You can make your own backrounds. And its very nice to go through menus. You dont have to keep clicking the same button to run through menus, its all the multi-function knob and the display makes it feel like you're running through menus on a computer.
I'd go Pioneer 860/8600. Depending on your amps input voltage range.

It's 5V input for my amp. I've gotten a deal for a 9855 from an autherized dealer for around $390 or so, so i'm going to have to weigh my options.

You won't have to worry about the amps taking the high voltage 'cause that's only with everything turned up and maxed out and still doesn't take into concideration voltage drop. Just the the 860 and be happy.
Yeah I'd take the 860 over any Alpine. Just has a much classier look to it. Of course I am a little biased toward Pioneer. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
I still am not understanding the difference between the 860 and the 8600...
Edit: Just the preouts?

No, the Premier also has Network mode.
So the Premier has hi-volt pre outs, network mode, and a 2 year waranty as opposed to the Pioneers 1 year waranty.
Oh and I forgot, you also get a PREMIER logo on the deck instead of a basic PIONEER logo. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

But since no autherized dealers carry the 860 anymore, and I don't have compoent speakers, the only thing that applies to me is the 6.5V preouts.
