Bringing this one back up. More so to chat about current receivers.

I have 2 options with the 6. Spend around $600 to have the mazda equipment installed to make my factory system a full working Sat radio ready unit. No additional antenna, everything is hooked up under the dash, and the wires are run under the carpet with everything else. Just like it would of came if we would of opted for it as a factory option.

Or I can spend under $250 for a receiver to be installed on the side of my current radio, and have a portable reciever to use as well. I'm leaning to this direction just for the cost aspect alone.

But I am not sure what receiver I would go with. We are thinking about the Starmate 4 but the downfall is how do all these compare when we talk about sound quality? I've been told by one best buy intalled that going with the factory setup will result in 50x better qaulity of sound and if cost isn't an issue he'd suggest that over anything they would sell.

But at Circut City i was advised it wouldn't even be noticeable and it's all personal choice on what type of unit you want to work with.
