Advice on Head Unit

I'm looking to get actually two CD head units and I was wondering what's good a deal in the 200 dollar range. Looks are probably the top feature desired.

Any advice, suggestions, etc are helpfull. Also where's the best place to buy, I really don't like the ebay approach, but any cheap websites are appriciated. I know of Etronics.com- they have decent prices anyone buy from them before?

So again any assistance in this are are appriciated!

Thanks

Robert

A friend gave me a FX-35 cassette head (40wx4) unit in trade for an unused sub. I installed it in my truck (94 Dodge Dakota Regular Cab) with Polk EX3 speakers all around. It sounds great but because I did not like the sound of the old RF cd changer I was using. I pulled it out and reinstalled my old Sony (6 or so years) and it sounds sad compared to the Panasonic. The same friend buys nothing but Panasonic items and his experience and my personal experience has been very good.

I have the Panasonic CQDF583U. It had everything I wanted for around $230 which included CD-R/RWs, MP3 and WMA files, when I bought it at the beginning of summer. The only problem is that when it is cold outside, the laser doesn't like to read cd's until it has warmed up a bit.
I like the way my display looks.
