depends on budget. i'd get the 9887, or wait to see what new ones' alpine releases i think next month. i'm either doing that myself, or picking up the new jvc kameleon when it comes out.

780 lots of features color screen

880 "There SQ deck" lots of features no color screen, but alot of people like the way it looks

980 All of the features of the others plus bluetooth and a few others...

Ur not gonna notice a huge difference in the sq between the decks..so if you are strapped for cash get the 780, if you are all about sleek looks without compromising features get the 880..and the 980 if you want a all out beast of a hu

Hey, had that same sony deck. Except the screen cut in and out when you pressed the buttons...but it was a nice deck for a sony.

I definitely recommend Alpine decks over it tho, TONS better quality. I've got the CDA-9886 now, LOVE it.

Man go with the alpine cda 9887 its the sh1t from what I've seen!!
As far as I'm told pioneers brreak a lot plus rca problems. THIS IS JUS WHAT I'VE HEARD. I owned a low end pioneer with no problems.
I own an allpine ida x001 if ur lookin for a dedicated ipod or mp3 player I wud def reccomended it. Its 268 shipped on sonicelectronix.com with a free wiring harnes and dash kit. Too.
