Default Opinions: 2 DIN DVD Head Units

Well I've had enough of the Bose HU already, and i was thinking about the upgrade. Does anyone have a non-navigation 2 DIN Touchscreen DVD HU? I already have a factory navigation, but I guess I'm just getting greedy with the LCD's. Three main ideas:
Kenwood DDX8017
Pioneer AVH-P6800DVD
Alpine IVA-W200

They each have advantages on the spec sheet, but I'd like to see if anyone has done an install and has an opinion.

Thanks in advance.

I have always been a big fan of Alpine products. I was sponsered by them for a couple years but that was some time back.

I just installed the Alpine unit into my vehicle. Looks and sounds are awesome. Almost everyone who has seen it loves it. My only complaint is the ipod interface does not allow the use of selecting genres and when you select an artist it just goes to their folder instead of a song list you can pick from. I am leaning towards the Clarion flip out touchscreen and JL Audio clean sweep as an alternative. It will not look as nice, but be more user friendly. The other option was the Kenwood. Looks awesome and has a ton of features for the money.
