Can someone help me decide on a Navi system???

I'm looking for a replacement for my double din kenwood. I have compiled a list of the following models:
Eclipse AVN5435
Eclipse AVN5500
Eclipse AVN5510
Pioneer AVIC-N3
Pioneer AVH-P6800DVD (Non navi)
Or wait for the pioneer AVIC-D3

I really wanted to know which is better between the eclipse lines, I really don't see it in the descriptions. I will only be using the navi feature about 5 to 10 times a month nothing extreme. But I do need to have something that reproduces music good.

Thanks,

avn6600 >* avn5500/avn5435 because it has 2 dvd drives...so you can use tha navigation and watch a movie at the same time. Great if you have rear monitors.

/plug for the one I have for sale for $1350.... lol

Hey don does the 5510 have the text to speech feature? You know like it would say a street name instead of saying turn left and stuff?
