I have an 8200 + Maestro and love everything. The only possible complaint I could have is the startup time and it's still only about 15 seconds but if I left it loud, the last 5 seconds of that is aloud audio waiting for the buttons to work to turn it down.
Minor complaint but overall great stereo and wouldnt trade it for Alpine or Kenwood. Either way though I think anything in that price category is a great radio to start with.
