Thats pretty standard. Alpine makes the best and cleanest IMHO also take a look at Fusion(ebay) they are badass australian decks. some of the best out there IMHO and a lot cheaper ---

I would say alpine. But I would only say older Alpine. Last good Alpine IMO was the 9835. After that they came out with that slide bullshit, and after that they got rid of the motorized face. And now they just totally suck complete ass. ---
