Been out of the game for a bit, looking for a new head unit

The last head unit I bought was the F90BT back in the late 2000s.  I am now thinking about upgrading to something this decade!

I went and looked at some units at the Best Buy and I left with a lot of questions.  Hopefully I can get some answers here:

  • Is there a big difference between the 500 and the 600 series (8600NEX vs 8500NEX)? The 8500NEX is on sale for $800 while the 8600NEX is closer to $1,200
  • What is the key upsell from the 7 series to the 8 series? (8600NEX vs 7600NEX)?
  • Is there any other differences between the WT and the W series other than the screen and DIN size, no physical drive?
  • Finally, I played with the 4500NEX and the buttons felt super cheap.  BB didn't have any 8 series and only had the WT7500NEX on display from the 7 series.  Do they suffer from cheap buttons?
