Unhappy Another HU Vs. Thread...

hey guys.. sorry this is my second vs. thread...like this week lol but hey last one. I am going between these 2 head units and am going to purchase one either tomorrow or the next day... I just want to be confident in which on I get.
Pioneer
DEH-P9800BT http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1158321454732

OR

Alpine
IDA-X001
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1166840027126

Only reason i have not bought the pioneer yet is simply because I have not heard any comments on it good or bad. Seems like everyone loves the Alpine, but to me seems like it has less features, and would end up costing me more with bluetooth. The Pioneer seems like it has little more tweaking ability (graphic equalizer) which i like, CD player, and bluetooth built in. On the other hand the Alpine can take USB sticks... but thats about all it has on it over the Pioneer. I just don't want to make the wrong decision and regret it down the road. DCI should work on both.....i like the GUI a little better on the Alpine...but Anything else??? What would you rather go with?? thanks guys!

Does the Alpine come with this included? And does it deal with the music like the ipod, such as search by artist, album, etc.?? thanks!

I have a pioneer deck and really like it. also, I dont think that Alpine plays CDs. Maybe it isnt a big deal, but all things being equal I'd want to be able to play CDs.
