Opt.1 - I think the monitor looks much better quality, and i like the overall 'look' of it the way it is in the picture. Would love to see it with the monitor closed (tried finding it on the website, but couldn't track the item down). On the other hand, I don't see a big use in having it be touch-screen, but that's because I'd probably only use it for watching movies (during long, open road trips), and touch-screen wouldn't be utilized much by me.
Opt.2 - My main gripe is that the screen looks like cellophane, too reflective, and just not quality-based (but that's just from the picture and the videos of it I saw under it's install page, never seen one up close for myself). Another gripe is that blue screen it comes up with at the beginning. It just reminds me of the 'blue screen of death' on PCs. It'd be nice if it said what it said a little more subtlely. Just because it says it annoyingly doesn't mean that any more people will drive safely. On its side, I think the automatic open/close and tilt functions are great, and well thought out. And I've seen it closed down, and it looks nice that way as well.
My final decision - If opt. 2 could come with a different screen, or rather, no screen (for more personal choices in options), I'd say it'd be worth it. But as it stands, it would come down to a choice between quality of monitor (opt. 1) and quality of the install total look and fuction (opt. 2).
