For the 250 quid end, you could have the Kenwood 6090 MP3 player - many people have those and recommend them. A friend has one, and I think it's pretty good...

I plan to spend between £150-£250 on a single CD Head Unit.
Here are the head units I am currently interested in:
Clarion DXZ618R
Kenwood KDC-5090R
Alpine CDM-7859RB
I'd be interested in anyone who has any of these head units or similar models and whether they are worth the money.
Any views/comments would be appreciated on what I should go for or if there are any other ones I should also consider.
Many Thanks.

At the £150 end you won't go wrong with a 5090R. I have the 5080R - paid £150 and it is brilliant - I once took the phono feed off it and played it in the house and it is just as good as a mid-budget domestic CD player with lots of detail and a nice tone.
MP3 would be tempting at £250 though, but other than that the 6090 is very similar.

I've got a Kenwood 5090R and it's a nice unit. I chose it over an equivalent Alpine unit as I thought the Alpine looked a bit plasticky in comparison.
Sound is good, but some of the buttons are a bit small and fiddly, and the display has too much superfluous (sp?) information.
