help me decide on an aftermarket nav/hu...

i've narrowed it down but am having trouble deciding...

i know i want either flash based or hdd based navigation, and if it's hdd based it needs to have extra storage for music, and if its flash based, it needs the ability to play mp3's off of a DVD. all of these meet those requirements, and i don't know much else about them. i kno i like good looking displays, which is part of the reason im doing this - i know that sounds really lame and stupid, but i hate the alarm clock looking radio display that comes with our car...

Pioneer AVIC-Z3 (originally was waiting for this to come out, but was dissappointed to learn that its just a software update from the avic-z2)

Pioneer AVIC-Z2 (save $400 and get the z2 instead of the z3?)

AVIC-F90BT (smaller screen but higher resolution.. i've heard of problems with these new units, but also heard they are all fixed with the latest firmware)

Kenwood DNX8120

Eclipse AVN5495 (don't know too much about eclipse...)

Panasonic CN-NVD905U (don't know too much about the panasonic...)

Alpine & Clarion - i couldn't find an all-in-one unit from these guys... does one exist? it seems from their websites you gotta buy the multimedia unit and nav units separately..

and im open to suggestion if theres something i've missed... oh and i've searched and searched for a socal shop that can retail the dual button... even tho i never use it, i don't want to lose it... i was planning on having this done at f1 motorsports unless somebody has a better suggestion..

thanks in advance for any advice...

if it helps I am still going through a similar process and will be getting 8120 .... the other two I was considering were Pioneer and Alpine W505, Alpine lost since it had worse navy, Pioneer since it was too "buggy" (i founf a thread on avic411 where more than half of the current owners would recomend some HU other than F90BT) ... 8120 has WAY more favorable reviews from current owners
