Are you looking for one with a screen built in or just a head unit look and an external screen?

if it were me id scratch the kenwoods and possibly the jvc....the rest id put on the same plane of quality with the panasonic as a middle ground piece.

I don't get alot of choices the Panasonic employee store, but what I can get is normally discounted pretty good. I can get the Panasonic CQ-VX100U for about $390 plus tax and shipping. MSRP $600. I've been thinking about one myself for some time (flip out DVD in general, no brand loyalty).
