Need Help getting a Head Unit

[Stillgate]

I'm kinda limited to what i can get as I have Best Buy (Bestbuy.com) store credit.. I have never purchased a radio before so i've been doing some research and the information i've gotten is still a little blurry since i dont understand all the Tech talk. I got a Alpine MRP-450, Infinity Kappa speakers, and a Type R Alpine 12" Sub so far. Now i"m looking for the head unit. Did i make the right choices so far?

I would like to play my stereo straight off my PSP or just a micro flash drive if possible. Bluetooth would be nice, but not necessary. Are there any suggests as to what i should look for?

The models i have to choose from look like this:

Alpine:

iDA-X200

CDE-9874

CDA-9886

CDA-9884

JVC:

KDAVX44 (looks interesting)

KDHDR30

Kenwood:

KDC-MP735U

KVT-617DVD

Pioneer:

AVH-P5000D

DEH-P4000UB

DEH-P5000UB

DEH-P6000UB

DEH-P9800BT

Sony:

CDX-GT710

MEX1GP

Does any of those really stand out?

All my choices:

The only one I can comment on is the Pioneer DEH P6000UB because I just purchased one. Good HU, signal to noise ratio could have been a lil better, but USB feature on it is wonderful. I have a 16g MP3 player that it only takes a min or so to read and I have access to over 300 albums. My 1 gig jump drive only takes a second, faster to read then a CD. If your looking for a good USB connection, this is the one I recommend.

I agree, I have the 6900UB (previous gen), love the USB and the sound/features combo is great at the price point!

Take all Sony products out of the running, please, for your own sake. The 9800BT is a nice model, but is a bit pricey, and bluetooth is something you'll rarely use, I'd bet. The 9886 is also a nice model, though the 9887 would be preferable. Oh well, I say 6000UB! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
