Quoted from STxPinball:

So I originally set my mind on buying JPP's Dialed In LE as my first pin. I sold a watch that I had to fund this mission and when the funds became available I changed my mind and placed an order for a Jurassic Park Premium. I started waffling about it today after watching many hours of live streams and felt like I might want to go back to my original decision and buy Dialed In. It isn't too late to change my mind but I need to decide by Monday. At this moment in time I figure that Dialed In might be smoother flowing and perhaps even more fun to play. Jurassic Park seems to have the edge regarding longevity as it seems to be deeper and more difficult to master over time. I know that these types of topics come about and I am curious to get other's opinions as to which one I should choose. Thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance fall all input.

I think that JP is the far better game. I would certainly recommend trying to play them first, however, and get a feel for what you like the best.

Quoted from STxPinball:

Thanks for the detailed comparison of the games. You're right I just assumed that JP was deeper but it's great to hear the DI is right up there with it. I definitely like the look for the playfield and great light show by DI. I wish I could stop waffling around and make up my mind. This is a tough decision.

Both are very, very good. You won't be disappointed with either. Getting play time on them will show you a clear winner, however. I'm sure you could reach out to some pinsiders in your area to play them if there are none in nearby locations.

If you play both and are truly 50/50 on it afterwards, you could base it on price, availability, and theme. You could also always get one, and then sell it to get the other down the road...or you could just do what most other pinsiders do and get both! Lol
