Default Suggestions on best bang for the buck CD/GPS head unit

I think I am at about the point where I want to upgrade away from my Monsoon. I would love to have something that does stand alone GPS and a CD player. Possibly a 7" screen and is a bolt-in where not much work at all is required.

Anyone familiar with this one or have some suggestions with links?

Here is a recent thread where nebnosnevel couldn't get the AVIC-F700BT to fit:

The current Kenwood line uses Garmin for GPS.

The best bang for your buck would probably be the Kenwood DNX5120. Kenwood has some other higher models in this line, but they are more expensive and trade around some features.

Here is Whitebird00's comparison of the Pioneer AVIC-D3 and Kenwood DNX5120:
