Quoted from Aurich:I appreciate the thought, but that text is directly taken from the film.

Thankfully the text is pretty tiny, else I could never un-see the "misspelling".

I like the playfield art (much better than Skittles vomit ). I am a fan of the SPACE theme, but not so attached to the Alien movies.
My only issue - what's up with the huge bezel/picture frame on Heighway machines? Just looks so odd to my eyes - kind of reminds me of old smartphone designs compared to latest gen with much reduced bezels. Feels visually klunky. Maybe painted black would minimize the effect?
I am guessing its necessary to support playfield/side art swaps, but I wonder how common/frequently the "swap" use model will be employed in the field. Maybe for operators, but would many Joe Users keep a 2nd playfield tucked away, to swap and play. Seems too much effort, compared to the more common model of multiple cabinets - simply walk-up and play the next machine.
I may be wrong, but seems like this form factor functionality is "imposed" (too strong a word) on all owners, for the sake of a fraction of owners.
Quoted from rosh:your assumption is that everyone has room for a big collection or multiple machines, what if you only have room for one or two games? Then this model works great, especially since you can keep a second under neath and swap it in.
Umm, this is exactly me. 
Only room for 2, maybe three machines max. But I still don't see myself buying into this swap model.
