Is this a good deal?

I think I'm going for Sirius, I've done a bit of comparison between the two, and I still prefer the channel lineup of Sirius a bit more than XM.Here's what I found today: http://www.hhgregg.com/Product...11178$99 bucks with car kit... Doesn't appear to have rebates or anything like that, just give 'em $99 and leave... Best Buy has a Sportster with car kit for $129, with a $30 mail-in rebate... I'm kinda leaning to the small JVC, since not being into sports, I wouldn't have much use for the extra stuff that the Sportster has. I dunno, what do you guys think?

I personally hate the look of the JVC, but if you can get past that...it'll do the trick. The sportster is nice, especially since the Boombox was finally released for it.I'm not a fan of the window suction-cup mount for the JVC, so you might wanna get the Pro-Fit mount for the Vibe. And sirius is running a $30 rebate on Sporster, Audiovox PNP3, and some other unit as long as you sign up for three months of service.So..it's really up to you. I don't like the display on the JVC, but that's just me. If you get it, and decide you want a different one after you've activated, return the one, buy the other, and call up Sirius and tell them you switched radios. They should change it in the system for no additional cost.

Hmm, if I get the Sportster for $99 after Best Buy's rebates, can I still get the $30 back from Sirius? If so, that's a great deal, and I kinda like the looks of the one Mr. Poopypants just bought...Kinda iffy on the form factor of the JVC, don't know where I could find a good place to mount the thing. But I do like the red display, I think that it will look good in the Vibe. Although I would imagine that display isn't going to be the easiest to see...Hmm! Going to go check both out within the next couple of days.

Blah, I think I'll go for the Sportster... Looks pretty cool. Reading the owner's manual for it as I type this.... Edit - after (not much thought!) I went and ordered the Sportster. It *should* be in stock for me to pick up tomorrow.
