Super Chexx is the way to go.

Now that that's out of the way, I was given a budget to find a machine for my office and Super Chexx is too much. I posted locally for a used one but can't find anything looking good enough for the budget either.
So,
what's the second best pick? Carrom?
I'm liking this middle-tier model:

I don't want to spring for the top of the line model because the quality of the mechanics seems to be average for all models, you just get the better looking base for more cash.

I've also seen the JETT:

and the Shelti Slap Shot:

I'm leaning towards the Carrom unless a nice Super Chexx falls on my lap or somebody here recommends otherwise.

It will probably get like 50 plays a week, I don't care about the electronic scoring, and I don't mind replacing a player here and there.

Any opinions?
