Well, Alpine and lower to mid Pioneers both had NOT SO GOOD years this year (05). But the 90 HDD is an "upper echelon" deck and I seriously doubt they cut any corners with that deck. In fact, since the 90 HDD is NOT a new model I doubt they changed anything on it so it would be VERY reliable. If you can find one cheap enough I would say go for it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
