I've searched and don't see much information here on Fusion brand marine receivers:

I'm looking for a replacement for my factory Clarion that has no inputs but I really want something that's super simple to use. I'm an IT director so I'm definitely what you'd call "tech savvy" but I can't stand most "modern" receivers because of the steep learning curve associated with using them. I had a Pioneer in my old truck for a couple of years and every time I wanted to change a preset I had to pull out the manual. The Sony in my new truck is a little easier but still not 100% intuitive.
Anyway, I can learn how to use any of them but I'd like something simple to use that the wife or whoever else is driving can handle without being distracted. The other requirement is a good iPhone 4 interface. The Fusions look like they would be easy to use with big buttons and an easy to read display that's not overly cluttered with information. I'm not an audiophile but don't want something that sounds like crap either.
So, does anyone have feedback on these Fusion receivers? Specifically the MS-RA200 that can be had for around $170. Any other suggestions that are relatively inexpensive but still meet the above requirements?
I see the other thread where everyone recommends the MEX-BT3800U but I'm a bit hesitant to go with a non-marine unit when marine units can be had for around the same price. I don't necessarily want Bluetooth either although I'm not opposed to getting it as a free feature.
