Well that is a better HU than the kenwood you listed, but it also comes at a price... Still not as good SQ wise as the 80prs and about the same price... For your average enthusiast I'm sure it would do just fine... I don't think there is a double din out there that compares to the 80prs, so 5 band EQ & 5v pre outs is probably the best you are going to find no matter where you look unless you spend a lot more... But yes, That JVC looks to be a better HU than the Kenwood to answer your question & I've had good luck with JVC HU's in the past as well as now, I just installed a single din JVC in my Father's Tahoe & it sounds / works pretty well
