Default 1.5 DIN Chevy head unit

I've been doing some research to replace the HU in my 99 Chevy Suburban, and
I can't seem to find many 1.5 DIN's out there. I'd prefer one with HD radio
capabilities, but that's not a requirement. No matter where I search I
always end up back at the Pioneer DEH-P77DH. All the reviews I've seen are
great. Nobody has said anything negative about it that I've seen. It just
lacks some of the features I'd really like to have. Does anyone know of any
other 1.5 DIN radios out there? Features I want follow:

HD radio
XM/Sirrius
USB port!
Aux input
Volume _KNOB_ (I hate push button volume control. Whoever started
putting those in car stereos should be shot)
Adjustable illumination (controlled by factory dimmer like the stock HU)
Speed Controlled Volume (like the stock HU has, never saw the need for
it until I actually had it, now I don't want to live without it)
Ability to use factory installed amp AND RCA outs (for subwoofer at the
very LEAST)
Remote turn on lead (for turning on factory amp and subwoofer amps)
Wireless remote
MP3 support
DVD player with outputs for external monitor(s)
CD changer controls (Or even MiniDisc, I still have a few of those)

The DEH-P77DH has SOME of the things I want, but not most of them. I hear
nothing but bad reviews about Alpine's 1.5 DIN radio, and I'm not even going
to consider buying a Pyle (of crap) HU. Do I have any other options?
Someone please let me know if there's something out there that I'm missing.
Thanks in advance. (btw, use common sense and you can figure out my real
e-mail address for direct contacts)
