For around the $200.00 range I would go with the new premier dehp490.I am a huge alpine fan,but the 490 has a lot to offer in the $200.00 range. Overall in your poll for the best radios I picked alpine. If money was no object it is very hard to beat an alpine F#1 set-up.

I never liked the look of Alpines, or their lasers. Alpines never did well with scratched discs, where as you can roll a CD through a mixture of dirt, rocks, nails, and broken bottles, pick it up, wipe it off, and my Pioneer will play it

I don't know what Alpine HU's or lasers you're talking about. Maybe the one you bought in Mexico spelled Elpine.
People do sell High -end Alpine on ebay that's what i was referring to. Not the low -end **** at BB or CC. 
P. S. High-end Alpine system debuts in Land Rover.

Recomendations would be good, I'm looking to get a new headunit, then upgrade the midrange speakers and get an amp to power them. I also have a 12'' rockford fosgate sub. I'm mainly interested in sound quality just trying to decide between alpine and pioneer.
I also want something that i can turn up real loud for when the ttops are off with distorion and around or under $200.
thanks in advance!

Im certainly biased, but of the above mentioned - Pioneer. Without the above mentioned Eclipse.

I'm mostly interested in sound quailty. but i would like preouts for a sub, and eventually im gonna uprgrade the midrange speakers and add an amp, so i want it to be compatible.
