I was looking at the exact same two when I was shopping for a new H/U about a year ago.

From what I can tell on Pioneer web site they are almost exactly the same, and it is hard to tell from the pics but it looks like on the 960, more of the face slides out when you eject a cd, or maybe the thing has angle adjustments, I am not sure.

I was not concerned about that and I went with the 860 because the grey color matches my dash.

I have been very happy with it and it does a lot more stuff than I could ever use. The only real complaint I would have is that it does not have the "RDS" radio data that can decode what your local FM station is broadcasting. ( for example instead of saying 99.1 it may say "99 Rock" and perhaps the song title playing, etc)

Neither of these have that feature, however and most aftermarkets don't for some reason.

So, in my case it was purely a matter of cosmetics, if you check out Pioneer and compare the two side by side the specs are the same.

For me it was an easy choice, silver or grey?

Have a look at the p780mp, they've finally started to appear on ebay and around the place. Similar price and features, and they're real pretty.
