Wow I love flash but then again I believe the more things that can break the more they will. If you buy the decks from a authorized retailer that has a warrenty I would say the 960. If you're a ebay hound like myself stick with the 860.
i would say the 860mp. the only advantage the 960mp has i the dual screen and more screensaver stuff and you can download all that from free from pioneer anyway. after about a week i turned off all the background pics,screensavers ect anyway and now i want to see if can change the text to a biolite-ish font and have it all one color with the screensaver software so i think yo should just buy the 860 and take the money you saved to buy some cd's or the xm tuner.
I would say the 860MP.....why?.....Because i am looking to sale mine.....only because it is too flashy for my tastes....my friend has an Alpine 9833 and i like it much better
