Stereo upgrade conundrum

Stereo upgrade conundrum
I'm planning on upgrading my stereo from the low end pioneer installed by the previous owner in my 01. I'm stuck between 2 stereos closely matched:
Pioneer DEHX9600BHS
Alpine CDE-HD149BT
Can anybody shed any light on any difference in sound quality between Pioneer and Alpine in this case? I spend 16 hours minimum in the car per week and quality audio is always nice in traffic.
Thanks

I actually looked into a kenwood craby. Had the feature set I wanted but I wasn't crazy about the design. The new ones have a little plastic cover over the cd slot that I just didn't want to have to jack with. I really wanted a double din unit but the non detachable face is a deal breaker. In some areas I have to personavel to for work I'd be begging for my car to get broken into. At any rate I've already ordered the alpine and it should be here in a week or 2.

Alpine IMO, is a good choice.
But good speakers make or break the system.
One can have a $20 Audiovox receiver, they still make them? and a set of nice speakers for sound reproduction and have enjoyable sound.
