I will say that the Audiovox XR-9, has the best screen out there as far as satellite radio goes.
It is visible in even the worst of situations. I did have it Sticky taped to my dashboard before this install, with the wires through the vent but it looked a bit tacky.

So the visability is fine and in the new location puts it out of the way of all of the other buttons, I can reach the XM unit if I need to but generally I just use the remote... It is pretty user friendly.

Also In the pictures it looks as if it would take some room away from the passenger side leg area....but it doesn't. I can now drive anywhere and never loose a station. I haven't listened to FM radio since it was installed.
