I like everything Pioneer. Well, I can say definitly on HU's. Can't go wrong with Either Pioneer or Alpine and Some Kenwoods. I'd take a Pioneer, or ALpine 1st before I's own another Kewwood. For the same $$$ Pioneer get's you the Most for your Money.

Looks really good, although I'm with Luna here. Although I haven't upgraded my Monsoon yet does anyone have a few suggestions on HU's that will match he blood red interior of my Formy?

Alpine has color changing head units. I know the CDA-9835 will change to match, and I'm pretty sure the current 9855 will do it as well. The 9831 was also one that had about 10 options on it I believe. The 9835 had some crazy 100 different colors or something.
When I bought my TA it had a Clarion deck in it that would color change as well. I ended up going with the in dash Alpine DVD unit, so color wasn't something I was particularly worried about.

I was on the fence between Pioneer and Alpine when I last bought a HU also. I have a Pioneer already and like it. But the Alpine 9835 I like much much better. The display is so crisp and clear and the sound setting are endless. Some adjustments are much easier on the Pioneer. What I have found though is I am always adjusting the Pioneer, after the initial adjustments on the Alpine, I have always been pleased with the sound and not needed to adjust.
Regardless, you can't go wrong with either one!

Wildbill I just bought the exact HU you are looking at from Walmart for $254.??.Awesome deck! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
Also, it is extremely difficult to tune initially. This particular model took me almost a full week, and I've only owned Pioneer decks, but after I figured out which settings sounded best for my system, I haven't touched it since.
