Help me out. Alpine DVA-9861 vs. Eclipse CD5000

Stage 1 of my SQ system is going to be the HU. I have it narrowed down to the Apline DVA-9861:

And the Eclipse CD5000:

I'm not actually going to be using DVD ever, or at least any time in the foreseeable future but when dealing with Alpine's '06 models that seems to be the only option for the higher end models. Seems like Alpine went for a "go big or go home" metality this year.
The Eclipse has a cool little NAV feature...Cooly useless when living in a small town of only 86,000 people.
Both those options are things I'd be paying for when its not really neccessary but that seems to be the way its going to have to go but all of their other options seem to be very similar.

What would you pick of those two and why? Or if you have another suggestion I'm all ears (eyes).

I'm not sure who mods this forum but maybe a poll please?
