Quoted from StylesBitchly:

OK, for those of you that have played both at MGC, what are your early impressions?

Both are really good. I'll start with Iron Maiden. I was interested in seeing how that far right spinner would work. It shot very well. For some reason, I was thinking that abrupt stop in the pop area would feel unsatisfying, since most spinners are on orbits, but it still felt right to me. The left ramp felt tight through the pops, but it seemed fair. The only shot, I was disappointed in was the counterclockwise upper loop. I thought there were perhaps too many shots off of that small flipper. I just couldn't make that shot with any regularity. Still, I was very impressed.

Quoted from fantarama:

could you expand on this? like, what are you considering to arrive to this conclusion?

Which is better depends on what you're looking for. I could make a case for either. The ball locks on Alice Cooper are much better "toys". The one on the left ramp can scoop up the ball from either direction, which is something I've never seen before. The guillotine on the upper playfield holds the ball and then chops it like it's chopping off a head. In terms of Iron Maiden, I think I prefer the shot layout. There is more variety in the dept of the shots. Some of the shots remind me of Congo. Both are very good.
