I'd opt for the RNS510, I had one of those Kenwood and the touch screen was awful... The sound quality wasn't as great as you'd expect. If you could save and get the DNX525DAB instead, that's a better investment. You can pick one of those up off eBay for about £650 and it looks like its much improved over the previous models.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

Functionality on the kenwood is much better but yes the screen can be a bit slow.

I found the sound pretty good but it's personal taste. Also you get the lot in one package which is what tempted me to start with. Add in Bluetooth, a TV tuner, phone module and it all racks up.

I have had both, OEM always nice but the Kenwood isn't a bad choice.

Happy to answer specific questions.
