It's a good head unit, I don't own it personally, but it has some good features.

The difference between the Premier and regular Pioneers is always a common question...

-Premier label in place of the Pioneer label.
-Higher pre-out voltage
-Longer warranty
-Sometimes the premier has gold-plated RCA pre-outs.
-The build quality seems to be better to endure the longer warranty.

Not a massive difference, but definitely worth it.

The pioneer site states that the only differences are :

1) Auto EQ , Auto TA (Time Alignment)
2) 2 year warranty

I have heard that the 900series are the same as the 800's but the screen gets stuck....

Mario, true, but that's only for a few Pioneer units. I was doing the general differences.

Jexx, I mistakenly thought you were referring to the P980BT.

I'm going to be buying one soon, but I'm disappointed that the premiere doesn't have higher voltage. 5 volts is still pretty good.

The differences between premiere and non-premiere are becoming less significant. I wonder if its even worth it for Pioneer to keep making two versions.

Yeah, even I don't know why they make regular and Premier versions. I think the biggest reason to get a Premier is just the build quality-they just seem to be built better-maybe it's just me, though.

"Premier label in place of the Pioneer label. "

It's just a difference, not necessarily a feature unless you wanted to show off to your friends you spent the extra forty or whatever difference it costs. haha

the warranty on a premier unit is 2yrs instead of 1, the EQ makes a BIG difference, the preouts helps, and the TA is nice to have. Its a killer unit especially when using the bluetooth part which is pretty fun. Easy to use and a nice OEL screen too.
