Default Can't Decide on Head Units

Hey everyone,

I'm currently stuck between the JVC kd-adv38, kd-adv49, and the JVC nx5000.

I'm looking for minimal work for install while getting a bluetooth, built-in color screen, and the ability to play dvd/divx/mp3 with a/v and usb inputs in the back.

I'm undecided between the 38 and 49 vs the 5000 since the 5000 has nav and a built in hard drive. I'm just not sure how useful such a low screen is for GPS and how upgradable it is. I run tomtom off my smartphone right now. Also, having a running harddrive instead of flash memory worries me about failure with out firm suspension.

I'm inbetween the 38 and 49 as the 49 seems sleeker, ipod video input, and software upgrades as usual with the latest model. But I'm a bit iffy about no buttons. And I have a 38 on it's way to me for 280. I'm not sure I want to pay more as I probably will have to in order to upgrade from it.

Plus, I know this sounds crazy, but the blue vs red button thing bothers me.
I can't get any photos of these setups with interior shots as search isn't working. If you've got them, would you please link some night shots of interiors with the dash and radio (blue or red) just so I can see the contrast in colors?

Any input is appreciated.

This is a one time upgrade from stock; I don't plan to change head units after this.
