Need a new head unit.

Mine fubared so i'm looking for a replacement.

Budget is around £200 and so far i'm looking at either the Alpine CDA-9812RB or the Alpine CDA-9853R. The 9812RB is more powerful (enough to make a difference?) but the other has more features. and looks better (

). For the record I won't be using an amp anytime soon.

Over to you guys.... thought please

Anyone got either unit?

not familiar with either of those ones, but a mate recently bought a £99 effort blaupunkt from halfords (half price).

Great piece of kit. Not sure if its WMA or not, but it is MP3, has 4x45W, 2 pre-outs and an Aux in.

the 9853r does look better out of the 2, dont they do a blue one aswell?
