Finding any decent B/W 90's pin for less than $2500 is getting tough. Modern Stern games have deeper rules and better reliability so not an equal comparison IMO. There is definitely value in getting a new pin compared to a 20+ year old routed pin. No need to fix hacks, chase down issues, replace broken parts, etc. Plus, for variety it's good to have at least one modern Stern with deep rules. I say go for a MET pro. I discovered how much fun it is late and thinking of getting one. It's just flat out fun.
