OEM Navigation or Aftermarket?

What do you guys think? There are a couple of good deals on the OEM one on eBay.

a fellow club member has the OEM one in his car and I was very impressed with it..not sure if you would have to make any other upgrades or if it's just plug in and go. you may want to check into that.

I got the Kenwood DNX5120 and its well worth the money. Its easier than the factory unit in my Expedition.

The factory unit looks much better because it fits the surrounding dash and is oem obviously. Thats just what i think.

I can't justify the cost of OEM, I'd go for aftermarket.

You can't watch dvd's on the oem while driving..whats the point? Illegal yeah but what other reason besides crappy navigation directions and looks do you get it for.

Go aftermarket.

LOL points quite taken. I just wish they made aftermarket navis that fit the entire well of the double deck. The closest I've found was this http://www.oeradio.com/product_FD-3401N.html
