Default Looking for new headunit

well it all started last sunday when i picked up this alpine for 175.99 at bestbuy

alpine cda-9856

i was under the assumption it had a remote, but it didnt....so i took it back

now i'm looking at the pioneer deh-5800mp from crutchfield for 179.99

what do you guys think of this headunit? i plan to keep stock speakers at the moment since almost everyone recommends to change the headunit out first..

The 4800 is the same thing, just without the graphics. It is like $30 to $40 less.
