I was on a similar mission very recently, too. But I couldn't find the one that has good SQ, looks and functionality and I ended up getting a Tivoli Model 3 with ipod dock connected to it's line in. So far, I'm happy although it's not as functional as I would like.
iH9 from iHome seems pretty close to your requirement. You can wake up to your custom playlist and it's got a big LCD screen that's easy to read and comes with a remote.
Logitech's been teasing me with Pure-Fi Dream that's about to come out pretty soon. It's got pretty serious features such as motion detector, a 3 inch woofer and a tweeter on each side and all the standards the iH9 has to offer. I might get this to replace my Model 3 when it comes out.
