Regarding the fidelity it seems to have a decent balance with fewer controls. The 10 band EQ is easier to manage than those on units that sport parametric EQs. The faux-signal processing abilities are less than other units and I like that. With the hardware being of reasonable quality to begin with, the need to electronically shape the sound is lessened and you can hear the difference.
I never thought I would want a remote in the car, but this unit changed my mind about that. When driving, I can hold the remote without looking at it and change tracks without taking my eyes off the road. When dialing in the system to get the sound right (while not driving of course), the remoted had the correct controls laid out and made that process far easier than navigating the main panel. Overall, the remote is a real asset in terms of usability.
There are a lot of features I have not mentioned because I dont use them. However, I toyed around with them (hands -free talk, Bluetooth etc) and was impressed with the ease of use in the short tests that I performed. For me though, I am far more focused on the meat-&-potatoes functions and avoid anything that distracts me while behind the wheel, so I did not give them a fair shake and cannot comment.
Bottom line, I am glad I spent the extra on this. While a little more difficult to install because of being a full-size single DIN, it was worth the effort. The quality of sound achievable from a single unit without external amplification (including a small subwoofer) is excellent. And of course, WWS delivered in record time with speed rivalling or better than any other retailer.

The reason I am not giving it 5 stars is the service provided by World Wide Stereo. Product took almost twice as long as quoted to get here. Had I known that I would have purchased elsewhere. Tried to cancel my order before the item ever shipped and was told I could not cancel the order. Also, the return policy forces the buyer to pay the return shipping.
Radio 10/10
World Wide Stereo -> 2/10
