help choosing receiver

[Kawaii]

Hi, I want to replace my receiver and I have about $170 to spend. I'm wondering if I can do better than the Sony DSXS310BTX (currently $170 on Amazon)? Only requirements are built-in bluetooth, good/decent sound quality and a good/decent display screen. CD playback is not a requirement.

Thanks.

edit: I'm willing to make the purchase from pretty much any authorized dealer.

Kenwoods top of the line single din. Refurbished (@199.00)

You can also find them on ebay, for around 200.00

Its probably worth the extra $$

That sony is probably a good deck. I haven't been impressed with sony's sound quality and reliability.

The second Kenwood looks good, problem will be finding a new unit for a decent price. The receiver will be going into a beater car so I don't want to spend a whole lot. I was going to pick up a Pioneer DEH6400 but I figured I'd spend a little more for a readable screen.
