Has anyone heard anything good, bad, or indifferent about these stereos from Jensen Heavy Duty?

I drive around the midwest a lot, especially on Friday and Sunday evenings.  Since I don't care about every little town's high school football or basketball team - and I don't speak Spanish - having lots of options for tuning is important to me, especially a CD player!  Not sure how much I'll use the Weather Band, but I also ordered the XM Radio gizmo since I have a subscription that's good another 9 months or so.

 

I ordered the scratch and dent model, so if you know something bad, please pipe up quickly so I can cancel the order!

I have installed the radio and so far like it very much.  I found it strange at first that there's no dimmer wire, then I remembered it's geared more towards those with tractor cabs, etc.!  In town so far it has been fine.  There is a way to manually adjust the brightness which I may do; I don't think I need bright settings during the day.

One thing I don't like is that the "seek" button has to be pressed and held to seek vs. manually tune.  I wish it was the other way!
The FM reception is similar to the stock unit, which I found to be very good.  I'll try to remember to add a photo later today.
