Hmm, peeking at the specs for the Neo35, I can see that it has one possible advantage over the Empeg/Rio Car: They offer a Jukebox version designed for trunk mounting. If trunk mounting is critical to you, then it's a better choice. The Empeg/Rio unit won't work well in the trunk.

But if you intend to put it in the dash, then the Empeg's got all sorts of advantages over the Neo. Sure it costs more, but as anyone here can attest, it's worth every penny.

You definitely won't be sorry if you buy the Rio Car. This is one of those cases where paying a little more for a higher quality item really is worth it.
