I plan to do a lot of cosmetic upgrades, to include new speakers and radio.

We might be confused on the nomenclature;
PAC/Scosche/Metra = Dash integration face plate. There are about 3 more options, but are discontinued (Alpine) or not relevant for discussion here (custom installs). Right now, PAC offers the best looking while retaining the most OEM radio accessory features.
myLink = OEM Head unit, radio core, teh brain. Designed and built using the cheapest quality parts physically available on the planet. Manufacture cost on this item is close to $50 and the specs are too horrible to list. Purchasing this unit costs $400+ used and another $150 at the dealer getting it reprogrammed to bypass the anti-theft lock out. For $550, there are near limitless aftermarket radios available with 1000x the sound quality. Moving in to compare features gets just stupid ridiculous, myLink maps cannot be upgraded, no HDMI connections, no parametric EQ, no dedicated subwoofer outputs, no RCA's, inherit line noise, won't pair more than one phone, limited "mp3/flac/wmv" compatibility, ..., ...
