Best bang for the buck in head units

[TampaWRX]

I'm looking around for a standard DIN head unit. I have very little experience with car audio, as it is usually my last concern, but I need to get rid of the double DIN I've got now in order to make room for some other electronic goodies. Here are the three I've been looking at lately:

Pioneer Premier
DEH-860MP
DEH-P8MP
Clarion DXZ945MP

The Clarion is the most expensive, but seems pretty appealing and feature rich. I've always liked Pioneer's Premier line and both seem pretty nice.

Is there something else in this price range worth looking at instead? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Could care less about the head unit, but what is going in the other DIN? PSi3?

what is the price range your looking at?
also, pretty much any head unit is going to be better then your stock, it all depends what you want out of it though... mp3's and what not...

pioneer is the best bang for the buck

which display do you like better? because in all honesty thats the only difference between the 3 you're going to notice.

I've had the PSi3 for a while now. Need to mount it. :) Got it from Opie a looong time ago.

I'm leaning toward the 860MP, but wasn't sure if I was missing something obvious. I'm not even planning on replacing the stock speakers, unless I manage to kill them. Just want to make sure I get a good, quality head unit that'll make me happy. The full color display on the Pioneer rocks. :D

My personal favs are Pioneer and Alpine.
