To double din or not to??

Posted this in the general forum and meant to post it here.....

With the price of the two units I am looking at being with in $50 or so, is there anything I should consider when choosing a DD over a single?

The single I am looking at does have built in bluetooth which I like.

And here are the two DD options.

Any thoughts of these offerings?

Your links dont work, but go with the DD, I have had 5 singles fail on me (valor, 2 jensens, pioneer, sony)

you used to only be able to find cheap headunits in double-din, which is why almost everyone got the single din units, instead.

Nowadays, tho, companies have begun making high-end double din headunits, because so many cars come with double din stereos from the factory, since gps units are typically available as options.
