Quoted from dtown:

I'd like to open up this "old" thread. Now that these two games have been out for a while and the code is up to date, how do you guys feel about them now. Since I don't have the money to have both, or to have the premium versions, I'm looking at selling my three games to purchase a Metallica or AC/DC pro. I'm also doing some repair work on another game for some extra money. This will net me somewhere in the $3,500 range.
How much is a bone stock (and maybe routed) Metallica Pro or AC/DC pro going for? Dirty? Doesn't bother me. I've dealt with barn storage messes so I don't mind the work.
As far as music goes, I like both. AC/DC is a little more up beat and appeals to my wife more but she thinks the Angus face sucks and isn't crazy about the Aurich Helen decals either. The art on Metallica is awesome so there's no contest there. I've played both and they have great rules but I do really like AC/DC's integration of the music better than Metallica's.
It's a tough call and I can really only afford one. No matter which one I'd pick, I planned on modding the shit out of it nonetheless. LED's, extra lighting, Color DMD, toys, etc. I just want to do it myself.
Just looking for some opinions now that these two have been out for a while.

ACDC never got the code love that MET got. Even when nobody was expecting another update, one recently comes out for MET to make it even better. I would have said ACDC needed an update more than MET did....

ACDC has a few key points which disappoint me. The mini playfield isn't too fun because it really has no worthwhile rules and the song rules are just not as balanced as they could be. I also wish the songs didn't start over on ACDC.

So for these reasons I would go with MET over ACDC....

Quoted from KingNine:

I too like the music of AC/DC better and it is one of my favorite pins but the rules and game play of Metallica speak to me as a pinball player.

I like the music in ACDC better too, but I wish the songs didn't restart. As for rules, I think MET by a large margin. ACDC still has unused cannon inserts.... I also despise that HB and VIP is the defacto standard for high scores. I don't think you could even come close by playing songs like BIB or LTBR... BIB is the by far the hardest song to qualify the notes and it doesn't reward you for the risk (that I know of).
