What is better: Kenwood DDX6019 or DDX7017

[domestic]

I just want to first say hello to everyone on the board!

I just bought the 2 headunits for about the same price each and I want to keep the better one and give the other to my brother. Problem is, I dont know which is better. The 6019 is newer but the 7017 is supposed to be a better model back in its day. I looked at the specs online and the olny thing I found was a comparison of a much of models and that the 7017 had more preouts: http://www.salectronics.com/detail.asp?product_id=DDX8017RB&referer=googleads&gclid=CJTQob7w94wCFRGsGgoddgJyDA

Which would you pick?

I am currently upgrading from a broken ddx 7015 (blown preouts). I have sat radio, comps in the front, coax in the back, 2 10's and a rear camera. Thanks

Personally I would go with the 7017 as the 5volt preout may lead to a "cleaner" sound from the HU. I too have the 7015 and like it but it gets distored too fast, higher voltage output would help that, along with the ability to kill the internal amp (doesn't have that).

Thanks for your opinion, i was worried no one would comment.

Any other opinions?
