I really like my Kenwood. I noticed that it loads mp3s quicker than my old DEH-7400MP Pioneer. The one I have now loads them like it was an audio cd. With the Pionner one, it took like 3 or 4 seconds. I guess it depends on how picky you are. The only thing I dont like about my Kenwood is that I either have to choose between having the clock show all the time or having the artist/track title displayed. I would have preferred to have both displayed at the same time.

I've had great luck with my Pioneer. If you're going to be using that Zeus it really does'nt matter what the HU power is as long as it as pre-amp outs. The Pioneer Premier series offer either 5v or 6v preamp out. (good clean power). I have to agree though, if you can afford it get Eclipse (16v pre-amp 
)
)
There'* better, but it does MP3 and has red lights that match.
