i have not compared the two H Units so cannot comment on the sq. but, i like the 9887. maybe cause im too used to the pio interface and want a change. it is too similar to my 6850 which i hate.
i also like the way the 9887 sounds. its the best unit i have ever heard this side of an HX-d2. the build quality is quite nice as well. the newer alpines are much worse.
the 9887 is not that easy to use but that is what i like. i like complex user interface.
summing it up, the 9887 is pretty much the HU ill buy. but then i have an eye on the HX-D2 and i might buy it soon if i can get one.
sorry for including the HX-d2..
cheers
