Alpine 9886 w/imprint vs. 9887 without

[pickup1 5,000+ posts]

I like the looks of the 96,but lacks the active part without the imprint.I like the buttons on the left,makes for a bigger screen,plus usb,which i'll probably never use...

So...

do the 9887 for 220 shipped new...or

9886 locally for 140,and add the imprint?even finding the imprint at a good price,it would come out to be the same for either...

thought...opinions...

thanks guys...

9887 still has the complete bass engine pro

9886 with imprint is missing a few frequencies in the crossover and EQ so its just a tiny bit crippled compared to 9887

but USB is a great thing to have.

if you re after good sound tuning features and dont care about usb then go for 9887.
