I'm a bit more on the fence with such an expensive purchase, but given what you've said, I still have a feeling like the overpriced Porsche unit might be a compromise, but an improvement in every way.

I guess that I can look into a Blaupunkt Toronto 420 (out of production), which is a downgrade in every way from my Kenwood...but at least it will be visible. The $300 Alpine looks wrong in the car, and is likely as hard to use and bad as my Kenwood. Ugh, I wish that this were an easier decision.
If the Porsche radio was 500 dollars or less it would be a no brainer. At almost triple that... Meh.
