Default Hawg Wired vs. Biketronics Sony install kit?

Unless I'm able to resolve some recent issues with my OEM HK head unit, I'm probably lookin' to replace it with a Sony CDX-MS60. Both Hawg Wired and Biketronics make installation kits. I'm leaning toward the Hawg Wired kit. Pros & cons of one verses the other????

HW has a much better looking kit and i've had great success with their customer service, even though i didnt buy from them that day. they even told me certain head units have an issue with their universal kit and that if i got one, they would swap it with their sony kit for free

my vote: HW

I like the over all quality (mostly metal) of the HW install kit better , electronically they both are good , Biketronics has a AVC and HW does not

The AVC was the feature that sold me on Biketronics...also it was easy to install.

I used Hawg Wired's kit.. Their DIN adapter is much nicer and their hand control adapter is pretty sweet as well.. AVC? My thumb adjust's the volume just fine thank you...
