I'll tell you right now without even looking, ANYTHING Sony car audio is junk. I am bias against them. I've seen too many parts of theirs fail, and it never performs to what its rated at.
Go with a Pioneer, or Premier even. The cheapest Pioneer deck with give you what you want, with alot better sound quality and features. Also most premier decks have multi-channel inputs provided you buy the adapter that fits into the back of the head unit. In my setup, I have a premier head unit, the adapter, and a set of RCA cables which i run thru my ash tray underneath the radio for concealment when not in use. I'm assuming you want to hook up an IPod. I'd suggest running a setup like this and hit your inputs in the glove box or something. Makes for a cleaner install.
You asked for suggestions.... I give you mine. Doesn't mean you have use them though. Good luck!

Id have to agree with Brian P. Sony car radios are crappy and dont have the best quality in sound. If your looking for something economical(that which Sony is) $100 and under, try the Kenwood KDC132, JVC KD-DV4200 or a Pioneer DEH-1800 @ best buy. but u can look in walmart and u will get a steal

i am honestly pro sony, i love their equipment, all of um, i dont know the prticular models you have listed off the top of my head, but when you shop for a radio you should shop for mostly what you want it to do, and then cost or vice verca.
forexample i just purchaced a sony radio for myself. i wanted one that can play mp3 files, from the cds i burn off my pc. not all streo head units can do that. also if the face place removable, this may come in handy when your not in a good part of town or not oo sure. and allways make sure to get a radio that has 52 x2 or 4 watts or more, this would come in handy when you want to upgrade to a better clearer sound
