I think they all look cool in their own way but I'm a sucker for stainless on pins in general. It gives them a more industrial look and feel.

Though I went with black myself and love it, I certainly like the original look of stainless. However, the new larger display, topper etc original look is not important. Its basically a modded out game.
I also like the Green, here is my finding, everyone hates the picture, but upon seeing it in person, they agree it looks good. It is going to be personal preference, but certainly cannot go wrong with any.

The green is incredible, it is also the most common. If not for owning a GB, I would have gone green.

I'm usually a orginal look type guy but blacked out games look pretty cool, mostly becasue we're used to seeing it with DE/Sterns.
Really anything other than that green that just looks like complete and utter shit. Looks like something a high schooler would paint.
I love the green as it goes perfect with the theme....although stainless, and black both look great as well

You know what, at one time I would have said "Anything but black!" but I ended up with a black MMR and it's really grown on me. That said... probably green. It's kind of obnoxious but it gets attention!

Black for sure. The green is pretty polarizing based on comments. It may be a sensory flaw I have, but it trips my gag reflex.
Stainless is the safe choice. Green is the wild choice that looks kinda cool at first but I think it draws your eye away from the playfield and the total look of the game and looks toyish ( which I guess it is ; a toy!) Black seems to be the color that matches the cabinet and backbox the best therefore doesn't clash and detract from the overall look of the game. It gives it a sinister feel that draws ones eye to the playfield and backglass. I chose black but haven't received it yet so the jury is still out!
I preordered an LE green. It maches the theme, and looks pretty cool. Im not a fan of black, too plain. Silver would be my second choice, because I think that is what the original is?
I was initially wanting Green and fully intended to order a green one. Then I was offered an opportunity to aquire an LE that a friend had NIB that was black. I was not to keen on the black trim but The price was right and the game was available to pick up so I went for it and I am glad now that I chose it. With everything that the LE has to offer I now think (IMHO) that the green would be too much. The other reason I am glad I chose black is the quality of the powder coating is not top notch (IMHO). The rails and legs are fine like they are. The lock bar needs a better quality powder coat. This is the only thing I think could be improved on. There is a simple solution for me as I will just have my powder coat guys whip up something stunning for the lock bar!
