Anyone else miserably shopping for an HU?

So the faceplate's lighting on my CD3200 blew a few days back and I am in need of picking up a new head unit. I am so torn because I have no clue what to pick up and with the investment it appears that must be done nowadays for a good quality HU and am concerned since I would hate to have another go the way of the Dodo after only a few years. I really liked the audio quality of my CD3200 and the audio setting granularity was spectacular. I was thinking of going DDIN however the bulk of what I am seeing for what I consider a decent price range just doesn't seem to fit the bill for the functionality that I would like. I would go with another single DIN as well. The basic features that I am looking for are:

1) BT connectivity for phone and audio streaming
2) min 3 sets of 4v or higher preamp outs (F, B, and Sub)
3) rear cabled USB input and headphone jack
4) snappy interface that is clean and easy to use
5) don't really care about navigation
6) not too big on audio files since I pretty much only use Pandora now
7) don't want to have to rely on a remote to execute functions
8) possibly support a rearview camera


I just can't justify spending 600 or more on an HU. Also the bulk of what is out there just seems to have really crappy interfaces. It is like they spend too much time trying to cram in so much functionality that their R&D for the interface suffers tremendously. Does anyone else feel my pain and what are you doing to overcome it?
