When you say 'dealer nav' are you referring to the OEM navigation?
If so, then go with an aftermarket system, more options, cheaper.

Really what does the oem have that makes it expensive

This is a question that is often asked and often answered. Simply put: OEM Nav leaves you little customization options and very little upgradeability as oppossed to aftermarket.

OEM is inferior compared to other current units offered aftermaket.

The OEM navigation requires rewiring the radio, AC, and other features.
Also, the parts are inflated since they are from Nissan. The outer piece is about 300 dollars (where the AC vents are and keypad is), the LCD screen is 1k for starters. The OEM navigation looks very clean and fits nicely but adding it aftermarket is very expensive.
