Hi,

First timer taking a plunge into buying a new head unit after years of
suffering with a cassette tuner (*shudder*) in my Volvo. I wanted to go
for an MP3 player and have narrowed my choices down to the 2 Pioneer
players within my £250 budget (excl fitting).

Any opinions on these two players?

The lowest price I have found for the p77 is £212.82 from
empiredirect. The p80 is going for just under 60 quid more at £269.99
at caraudio direct.

I initially wanted to go for the p77 because of its clean looks and
classic design. But will it go obsolete quicker?

Any tips/advice/alternative suggestions/cheaper prices for a newbie,
gratefully received.

Alex
