I listened to both and the base system sounds like crap. The Bose system sounds great.
If you do get a car with the base system, replacing the stock speakers with some aftermarket ones is usually inexpensive and easy to do yourself via YouTube videos or instructions from Crutchfield (they provide detailed installation sheets for all makes and models). Even without an amp, a couple sets of 80-100 dollar door speakers will make a huge difference.
That being said the Bose system sounds awesome so if you can afford a higher model, do it.
