sony vs panasonic decks

i want a deck with animated display, which would be the best out of the  Sony-CDX-GT705DX or the < color=#123476> Panasonic CQ-C7103U. i have always heard bad things about sony but have never really heard anything about panasonic. and suggestions would be great, thanks guystwo 12" cadence TXW-12S, cadence TXA-3002 amplifier, 1990 toyota celica system 10 speakers

i would chose the Panasonic of the two.... you may also want to look at the Blaupunkt St. Louis MP56   http://www.blaupunkt.com/us/7646590310_main.asp   Kevin Gerry

  have you seen the two in person, or just on screen?   i've seen that panasonic and wasn't impressed at all.  it's not bad, just looks a couple of years behind.  i have a tendency to try and stay away from motorized faceplates-they are really cool until it jams up on you at a show.  i like everything about my pioneer except the motorized face-at least once every six months it sticks open.  looks like the sony has better rca outs- 4 volt.  and a better eq.  probabably a clearer display. (4)g5-1244, (4)gtr12, (2)ppipcx2400, (1)pcx4125, (1)pc4800.2, (3) pair mb quart 6.5"Q, (4)optimas, alumapro (1)5 and(1)15 farad cap, premier deh-p860mp, pioneer xm -dual H.O. alternators

i just want animated display and good output. i might stray toward panasonic just because i have never owned one before, ive owned sony and didnt really like it but that was a really old deck. thanks for the input guystwo 12" cadence TXW-12S, cadence TXA-3002 amplifier, 1990 toyota celica system 10 speakers
