Out of those two I like the eclipse. But if you want a refurb and want to save 100 bucks:

the reason i picked these two is because i dont like fancy looking radios, i prefer something that looks somewhat original to the car.. i dont like silly animations and blinky lights

the eclipse probably has better SQ aswell as the looks, however, the clarion can illuminate red to match the dash
