I've run into that but not enough to know the elixir. I think it's like you're saying, it's not necessarily that you are a TSPP master but a master at YOUR version of it. The last time I knew a machine of mine was on the roster I stopped playing my own. Not sure how much that helped but I also tried to play that location's version a few times to test out the differences (flipper return speeds, outhole kickout direction, etc). But then all of that puts you in high alert which we know is a recipe for disaster.
