Has anyone tried Nakamichi Soundspace 3?

I need to buy a gift of a Bose-type clock radio/cd player and have identified the Kloss (Cambridge Soundworks) Model 88 CD (around $349) and the Nakamichi Soundspace 3 ($250-300) as my 2 best sub-$400 options. I've heard the Bose Wave and don't like its sound or price.

Has anyone listened to either the Nakamichi SS3 or the Kloss 88? I'd appreciate any feedback.
