F90BT or F900BT? (quick question)

I can't figure out the differences between the two.

 

As far as I can tell the F90BT is Premier with a 2 year warranty instead of 1, has the word 'Premier' on the bottom of it and that's it. Are there any other differences? like does the F90BT have higher quality circuits or something?

 

I'm inclined to just get the F900BT because the word 'Premier' on the stereo might just get the stereo stolen faster.

 

Anyone know the differences? got any thoughts?

I think that the differences are that the 90 comes with the iPod cable, longer warranty, and has higher-power pre-outs.

 

Here is a table (bottom of page) from the horse's mouth showing the comparative specs:

Thanks for the concise spot-on answer.

 

That leads to a another question I never figured out.:

 

Is the higher voltage output important? Is it trivial or significant? is it worth, say, $40 more if I plan to put in a decent amp?

 

I never figured out how it could improve things.

I dont think the extra 2 volts is worth the money. i got the F900. I did, however, pay 25 bucks for the ipod cable that comes with the f90. I got a smoking deal on the f900 (450 BNIB) though

where'd you get it?

 

I saw one place that claims to have them new for $450, but they look totally scammy. no ratings.. wanted western union, but seemed to take paypal.

My local best buy was closing them out at 450. I got the las one in the box. Funny thing is they still wanted 700 plus for the 700bt
