Why don't you like to stack MBs?

I put this condensed rule chart together a while back......not completely finished, but covers the major stuff....might be helpful.

I just found out about the loop, target, and combo jackpots. these are achieved after hitting 15 loops, 10 target banks, and 20 combos. these are collected at the cannon. I have seen on videos that it is possible to reach a song jackpot cannon, and also have these other jackpots completed and ready too. so you could have multiple cannon shots in a row for substantial jackpots.

Here is my question:

How are the various jackpots determined (loop, target, and combo) is it always a set amount? or can that amount be increased some how before you collect it?

Quoted from Cornelius:

In a home environment, it can be fun trying to get them all stacked. In a tournament setting, it's usually too risky. If you know you just need to make a couple more shots to light another MB, then you might go for it. It's a real bummer when you've got Jam and Album lit and you drain your last ball trying to get Tour lit... makes me want to tear my hair out! Done that too many times.... So now, even at home, I start up a multiball as soon as I can. My games are longer that way, and my scores consistently higher.

I'm also not a fan of the "Hells Bells all day" strategy. Maybe it works for some, but I find I get better scores by switching songs (other favs of mine are Thunderstruck, War Machine, Whole Lotta Rosie....). There's really only a couple that are real stinkers... and I think someone already mentioned those. Note that completed songs increase the starting value of your song bonus (and add a bit to your end-of-ball bonus too). Plus there's also the chance you could make it to the elusive Encore....
