Quoted from TreyBo69:

I've played a few more classic Sterns since then. New ranking
Stars - it's perfect
Meteor - almost perfect
Star Gazer - beautiful and interesting
Cheetah - ugly but very interesting
Dragonfist - one of the most unique geometries
Quicksilver - solid
Flight 2000 - still love the spinner to drops shot
Big Game - it's good
Seawitch - it's ok, the Beatles really improved on the layout
Free Fall - it looks great
Nine Ball - it has a few nice things going for it, but meh
Catacomb - it looks like a giant piece of toast on the playfield. Game generally feels more luck than skill
Lightning - more going on than I first realized, but meh
Magic - meh

Decent opinions except Nine Ball - it's one of the best.

Quoted from TheLaw:

You're in for a treat, there are plenty!

I'm not impressed with F2K. Big Game and Cheetah are far better for widebodies...but it isn't as bad as the Williams wide bodies.

Quoted from play_pinball:

Like HoakyPoaky I'd never played Quicksilver before I decided to build one up. Honestly, the first few nights after I finally got it flipping, I was like "huh, this is alright, but was it worth all this damn work?" A week, some tweaking, and about 100+ plays later I was convinced: yes, it was!

When it's dialed in and the PF is smooth, it's simply the best. I've played some beaters and I was like "eh".
