New headunit decision.

New headunit decision.
This is a very hard decision for me because I do not like to spend money a lot. My head unit is breaking right now and I am going to need a new one soon. What I want is 3 preamp outputs, high preamp output voltage (4-5), high cd signal-to-noise ratio (95-up), play mp3 and wma files, and equalizer bands. What I don't care about is a remote, satalite(spl?) radio, or anything to do with FM/AM radio. I have narrowed it down to about 5-7 units, but I do not know what the best manufacturer quality is. Any opinions would be appreciated.
Here they are compated at Crutchfield.
Also the Eclipse CD5415.
Thanks

Sorry about the broken links, I should have checked them. I meant Eclipse. Where did you find one for $200?
Edit: When you flip open the CD5425 how is the face plate connected to the unit? By a cable like thing or do the metal prongs just sit on the unit?
Do you use the E-iSERV?

it is a motorized faceplate that folds down like the alpine motorized. It is NOT detachable so i'm pretty sure it connects with a ribbon, i vaguley remember seeing one too.
the E-iSERV function is pretty cool too. I haven't really had to use it yet but i did test it out from my house to where I work. I displays what to do(ex. Turn left onto MAIN ST) and has a little arrow that will point left. you just have to press the button to move onto the next step in the directions.
the 3 year warrenty is amazing and so is 1 year theft replacement. GET THIS HU!!

I am really liking(spl?) this unit from what I have heard and read on the Eclipse web site. I see where it retails for $299 online but I will call my local store tomorrow. If I can't find it for this price what is Don's user name?
Thanks.
Edit: Does the CD5425 have the memory stick slot?

List price is $249. You can find it anywhere between 199-249. I highly recommend Not buying Eclipse HUs online. You will lose the three year warranty and the theft replacement coverage if its not dealer bought and installed. No it does not have a memory stick slot.
Don doesnt ship Eclipse HUs.

I have found a headunit that I like. It's the Kenwood Excelon KDC-X589; found here. I am wondering if anyone has heard anything about this product. I like all the specs. If anyone has it is the face plate motorized or what?
Thanks.
Thanks.
