F700bt Or F900bt

So i pretty much have decided on an indash/navi unit its either the f900bt Link:http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130AVIC...IC-F900BT.html or the f700bt Link: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130AVIC...IC-F700BT.html

basically the only difference is the 900 has DVD playback ability. So my question is should i spend the extra $80 and get the dvd playback which can only be used while stopped because it has a gyro in it and hasnt been hacked yet, or save the money and put it toward something else.

Side note: i had a Dual xdvd in my truck and i watched movies very rarely. only when i would go out with a bunch of people but i had the room for that.

i'd get the DVD playback just to say you have it...no point in spending that much money on a deck if it can't do everything under the sun IMO.

get the 900. The DVD playback would be a selling feature for me. It can be easily unlocked to play while driving as well. Call some local shops...they will bypass it for you....i know of some here that will do it "under the table"
