the *050 series is the official series made for india
the *090 seires has approx the same features as the *050 series only this is for asian markets and when we in india recieve them via via channels they are "grey" market
only the 4090 has a faceplate while in the 4050 i think the cd can be loaded directly without dropping the face down
the former would look better from the outside and have less chance of dust gettin in
the 5050 and 5090 are almost the same except for the colour
hmm build quality different views
some say the older series *950 had better build quality and others say its the same.
you will have to judge yourself
however the newer series the *050 and *090 have usb out that the older series did not
i would suggest the 4090 if you are looking for a simple piece with 3rca outs,usb,i pod compatible with extra cord and aux out already present
