Alpine CDA-9835 vs CDA-9887 (need input)

[Salami 10+ year member]

What reasons should I pick the CDA-9887 over the CDA-9835? From what I can see the 9835 lacks the Imprint feature of the 9887, what else is better or worse about each unit? Concerned mostly about features that affect SQ only.

I am gonna try out the 9835 since I am getting it for free (along with some other sweet stuff) but I really had my heart set on getting a 9887 (almost bought one last week).

If you are getting a 9835 for free this should be a no brainer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
The ipod interface is much better on the 9887 then the 9835. Both have the same audio features.

Definitely a no brainer. Just wondering if giving up the Imprint ability and any other SQ features would bug me. Free is free but sometimes I get this mental thing where something is not up to what I am looking for I get the need to get something that is no matter what it is going to cost me.

How about this for a no brainer:
