Alpine CDA-9885 or 9887?

[ThiZzNation 0]

So I've done some research and lots of reviews and people all point to Alpine. I would basically like to know what would be better for me, a 9885 or a 9887? Mostly I'll be using my iPod for the music source, but occasionally I'd play CD's or a friends CD. I drive a 1990 Honda (Yes I know really old) and basically I'm just upgrading my sound system; new speakers and a sub will come with this. But I would like some imput from a 9885/9887 user or ex user and if it's the right choice for me.

Also, what is the big difference between the 9885 and 9887 for a 50 dollar difference?

Thanks

Lots of processing capability you probably won't use.

if you want a cd player for powering speakers, the 9885 would be better...simpler and less expensive

if you want to run a full active system is lots of flexablitlity(and have the money and ambition), get the 9887

And if you dont need the fancy screen get the 9883 for even less.
