Bally Williams are the classic cars of pinball. All around great. Obviously they can't compare to modern games in certain regards especially in terms of software. But all things considered they are fantastic and the standard of the current pinball era. They are the long term keepers and the games worth "pimping out." Aesthetically they blow newer games out of the water.
With Stern and Jersey Jack there are lots of fun to be had, but at the end of the day they aren't long term keepers. You hit em and quit em. Experience the best of them to the fullest, then sell for something else. Great games to have on a steady rotation to always have something new to play.
