Lots of factors.
How many games do you have now?
What games?
What themes do you like?
What kind of gameplay do you like?
If it was me, Id buy a stern pro or some flavor or another. Then use the $500 left over for mods.

Quoted from Jasenwm:I'm just getting into pinball. I have a bunch of arcade games but only one pin. 1976 fireball home model
Snag the blackhole (if nice) and get an easier bally/williams game to go with it. BH can be really hard, but its a fun and satisfying game.
Quoted from Jasenwm:So I've been collecting video games for 30 years I'm 42. I have about 22 consoles and few arcade cabs some I built. My list of pinball I WANT are black hole, haunted house, wipe out, Metallica, rescue 911,. I was going to get a virtual pin but I kinna want the real deal even though it's $$$
NO VP....NOOOOOO
Quoted from Jeff_PHX_AZ:Can you get new NIB pro models for 5k delivered or is that $5799 the actual price for new pro? I see the $5799 price everywhere.
Don buy NIB. Just liek a car, let some one else drive it off the lot and take the hit. Pros sell for 4500ish all day here, just be patient.
Quoted from jawjaw:Probably closer to $6000 for Shadow and Whirlwind. Tough to find two great games for $5000.
Ya agree. People want crazy money for TS and WW right now. Same prices as stern pros...COME ON!
Quoted from IdahoRyan:I am in the same boat. Trying to decide on a Metallica or Iron Maiden. But I am really struggling with saving a little more and getting the premium versions. Not a huge fan of IM music and love Metallica. However I like both and simply want the game I enjoy the most. So far I think IM wins. It's a 50/50 split on whether the premium is worth the extra coin on those 2 games.
Just get IM and put Metallica music on it. IM is so much more fun of a game. MEtallica just doesnt do it for me.
The metal to metal transition should be pretty unnoticeable. The modes just wont line up with the songs. If that doesnt matter to you, then GAME ON!
Quoted from IdahoRyan:I can honestly say, I didn't like Metallica when I first played it. Took me a few times playing it to start to appreciate it. However I enjoyed Iron Maiden from first flip.
Just trying to decide on Pro or Premium now
I hear you on Met. I have played it many times, and just dont like it. Not sure why. I dont like Kiss either and that game feel similar.
We have an IMLE at our office. I can say I really dont care for the game without the lifting ramp in the middle. Thats just my opinion, but I wouldnt get an IM pro.
