Stu, appreciate all you do. I thought Aurich's review was respectful and fair. It's pinball, we love to talk about it on Pinside, I don't think there's any way that's going to stop. There's no 'retail location' for us to see these things, and pictures don't always do things justice. I think CPR's reputation stands on its own for the most part.
People, if you are considering the backglass and are curious about what's mirrored... I think its fair to say CPR's art team is VERY good at what they do. All of the stuff I've seen them do is tasteful when they've had the opportunity to make things different than what was originally manufactured. Check out the Fire playfield thread, with the distinct FIRE window cutout work that was done.
I have a CPR playfield and backglass for Taxi. They're gorgeous. The backglass looks different than the translite, and that's to be expected; but I am so happy I got the glass. The mirroring done is infinitely better than the shoddy translite mirrored plastic that came from the factory. It's also a lifesaver as I needed/wanted to convert to Marilyn. So many games that don't have backglasses are going to be brought back to life thanks to this stuff.
