Apple dock vs AV receiver with "Pod integration"?

Well I'm always on the go from work to home to where ever... So I like using the Apple's dock+cables. I have been looking at all the different dock radios, but I can't bring myself to spend that much on something that I can only use when I'm in my living room... That's just want I think...

 

I recently bought a Pioneer receiver that has an integrated iPod connection. I used the Apple iPod dock on my old receiver. Sound quality is the same (both use the docking output and not the headphone output). The benefit to the integrated system include on-TV-screen display of the iPod songs and/or album covers, and the ability to use the receiver's remote control to select menus, songs, skip, fast forward, etc.

I didn't choose the receiver because of the iPod features, but they're a nice bonus.

 

I would guess its all about what life style us are in... Like people that are not on the move all the time would rather have the Bose sound dock... and others that are never at home would just get the Bose earbuds LMAO
