You can get the KD-AVX1 quite cheap now, I've just bought one and i think it's the best purchase i've made in a long time. Real nice sound quality, and for the size of the screen, dvd's look quite nice (then again it only gets used on my dinner hour, so i can watch a bit of film at work). From what I can tell, there aren't many differences between the 2, the newer one just looks to be a facelift model. You wont be disappointed if you buy one
