ATTN: Hondaman-iac and others

[Wren57]

Ok this should go in the sound forum, but Im being impulsive and am going to buy this probably tomorrow or never. So I was wondering, what is a good head unit to have? I see you hondaman got the pioneer with mp3 playback etc. I also want one with mp3 cdr capability... thats my main reason to buy. I plan on keeping stock speakers, just having the head unit for more oomph. How are the Pioneer deck's ergonomics? The stock buttons on the Highlander are huge and well positioned, how does the pioneer feel. Need to know the performance increase with stock speakers. My GF put an Alpine in her stock 98 Jeep Cherokee and damn it sounds nice now. Also, any advice on a good unit for under $300 would be greatly appreciated. Keep in mind it needs to have mp3 cdr cdrw playback... dont care about motorized face or anything fancy, just want something nice. Please let me know asap cause I plan to buy tomorrow (wednesday). Thanks
