I haven't made the purchase yet as I just made this decision, but I think I will go with Crutchfield. There is an online seller named Trail Star Audio that is selling this unit for $70 less, but has no street address. Does anyone know this seller? In my research, I've found that prices are set acrossed the board by authorized sellers.
A big thank you to theminimark for pointing me in a direction.

Bottom line is I will make the trip to the PC Richards' place an hour away and talk to the install guys and try to touch and feel. BTW this radio is for my mini beach car build. Even though I believe in Issigonis' philosophy of no radio, I feel in this day and age, a car without tunes will be a hard sell. Plus I don't want some hack ruining my build.

Find out what you really need. If you won't play any CD or disc loaded media, especially video, then get the newest ones that don't even have the slot. And if you know you'll only play digital files you own, then adjust.
If all you'll do is stream whatever you are "playing" on your phone, look carefully at the quality of data transfer over blue tooth.
Finally, if you are using carpl#y, or Andro#d Auto, determine whether a USB C, Aux cord, or App#e specific wire will be the best connection to the head unit.
Pay more for a brand name, especially if you can test what you like in a shop setting, then, if you install it yourself, buy from a Crutchfield type of OnLine marketplace seller.
Determine whether you're going to want the back up camera and it's required interconnectivity to a reverse switch connection. Long ago, the best OTA / satellite based radio units were Pioneer and Jensen. YMMV.
And that, as they say, is all I have to say about that.
I'd be interested to hear back which brand you buy, and which vehicle it was mounted into. Best, Mark
