Default Help deciding in-dash dvd/nav/ipod/bluetooth purchase

I'm in the market to purchase an in-dash dvd player complete with nav, ipod interface, and bluetooth.

I've been looking at either the Eclipse AVN6620 or the Alpine IVA-W505. I want my navigation to be easy to use, but more importantly, I want ease of use and good sound quality.

Right now I have two 10 inch Boston Accoustic G5 subs powered by a Rockford Fosgate amp, and an Alpine amp powering my Boston Accoustic components. I have an old Pioneer Premier deck, and my mids/highs sound kind of harsh, so if either of the two is known to have deeper sounds, please let me know.

I'm looking to around $1,500 out the door with labor/parts.

The best one that all the features and is far easier to use than either the Eclipse or the Alpine is the Kenwood Excelon DNX-8120. At my shop we sell all of them including Pioneer and the Kenwood IMO is FAR superior to all others. I personally would never buy any Alpine AV units as I really don't like the menu systems and the nav. Features for the dollar and ease of use, especially the nav (Garmin) the Kenwood is the best. I would recommend going to a shop that has them on display and play around with them, see what you like. Some people like different models for different reasons, I just happen to like Kenwood AV stuff the best.
