Thanks again everybody. In the end I went with a Sony CDX-GT410U from Crutchfield Canada.
Their price matched Best Buy's and they threw in the dash kit, wiring harnesses and Din tools for free and the shipping cost was all of $4. I looked on ebay and I found that the savings just weren't there when you factor in shipping (mostly from the states and generally high) and dubious customer service.
Anyways, it came today after about a 4 day wait (including weekend) and I had it installed within an hour. It would have taken less time but I was being exceedingly cautious and must have read the competing instructions about 4 times each.
Even with the stock speakers I can hear a positive difference. I chose sony because their interface suited me and this specific model because of its USB port, something I hadn't originally considered. It's great because I can just slap in a memory stick full of music or my wife's Ipod Shuffle and it immediately starts playing. That's ten shades of awesome!
