id go the pioneer one dude, that screen they have on them is sweet as.. But yeah really they would both be just as good as each other, have a play with them and pick which you like more
Well the Pioneer one look 100% better IMO, thought I'm biased, I like blue, LOL. But I've heard a few good things about the IMPRINT system from Alpine. Apparently with the right equipment it does a fully comprehensive tune on the sound system and can sound much better.
Pioneer get's my vote. I've previously owned that model from Alpine. It was my first "Alpine" unit, and honestly i was happier with the Pioneer 3000 series i had prior to replacing it. Not saying Alpine unit's are bad products, they make some great one's, but for the money you can do much better IMO
