panasonic or pioneer head unit

Hey i'm looking into buying a new headunit so i thought i'd see what you guys would reccomend. It's either between a Panasonic CQ-DF903U http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?stk_code=pancqdf903u&store=&catid=317

or a pioneer premier DEH-P650

right now i'm leaning towards the panasonic because everyone in town has pioneer and the panasonic has a better screen on it and it also has a auxilary input for when i get dvd. (pioneer's auxilary input is like 35 bucks)

just seein which you guys would buy

never listened to panasonic but i used to have a pioneer deh 6500 and they are nice units but i would recommend upgrading to the premier 750 if you plan on running some amps because the 750 has 6v preamp outputs and it has three outputs compared to 2 and has a whole bunch of sound shapping crap you can play with.

yeah i was thinking about the 750 but it's like 60 bucks more and i don't know if i need mp3 playback cuz i want to get an xbox and load mp3's on that for my car. Anybody own a panasonic and love it?
