Personally, I hate the design of 99% of the aftermarket stereos on the market. It's all just flash for the sake of flash. While the empeg isn't perfectly designed (and I'm talking basically just about the fascia, etc. here), I like it more than pretty much everything on the market. And I have the feeling that if I saw everything, which I haven't now, it would be my top pick. I just wish that I could see the top left of the screen. (Oh, well. I said it wasn't perfect.)
