I'd opt for the RNS510, I had one of those Kenwood and the touch screen was awful... The sound quality wasn't as great as you'd expect. If you could save and get the DNX525DAB instead, that's a better investment. You can pick one of those up off eBay for about £650 and it looks like its much improved over the previous models.

Functionality on the kenwood is much better but yes the screen can be a bit slow.

I found the sound pretty good but it's personal taste. Also you get the lot in one package which is what tempted me to start with. Add in Bluetooth, a TV tuner, phone module and it all racks up.

I have had both, OEM always nice but the Kenwood isn't a bad choice.

Happy to answer specific questions.
