They would never replace it because the same part had to break three times in one year. Anyway, I never personally had any experience with their line of car audio, but I have heard some of my friends stereos with sony HU's. Some of them sound pretty good, but nothing "I" would consider great. I think for the price you'll pay for the sony your looking at you can get a better HU. You could go with nakamichi, clarion pro audio, eclipse, or alpine. All better in my opinion. What do you guys think?
All of the brands you mentioned are certainly better than Sony's low end, but I'm not sure if I would consider them any better than the Mobile ES line. IMO, the Sony CDX-C90 is still the best HU on the market. Of course, you can't go wrong with any of the brands you mentioned. They are all very good HUs.
