Quoted from Pickle:

Lord…do not come here to ask what game you should buy…you will get 50 opinions and half will tell you to buy something you aren’t looking at. You have a deposit for a TS4….have you played it or did you just buy it off theme alone? That’s always a mistake unless it is a true “dream theme” and you know it’s what you want. You are not a noob so you know by know what type of games you enjoy most.
As far as WOZ goes yes you really need to get one that has the 2.0 lighting installed. I do not believe any kits are in stock at the moment but that doesn’t mean someone is not sitting on one or a vendor might have one as well…..if you can get a GOOD deal on a WOZ I would get the WOZ but if you did not like it when you played it before you most likely won’t like it now. It’s pretty eye candy for sure….it’s not the easiest of pins but code is deep so lots to do/see on the game so in a home environment you would have the time to see those things. No difference from ECLE or RR as far as game play that I can think of. The moving monkey was dropped from the last run of the YBR version.
For perspective I played WOZ and a Metallica pro when both had first come out…..WOZ is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and for me it was fun….but Metallica….just amazing. I loved the Sparky animations….the call outs and I like Metallica music(early not their new crap)but I could only afford one. Metallica premium was ordered and no regrets. Not suggesting you should get a Metallica but only you can decide what game is right for you….
Do consider WOZ has been around a while but is considered a good game. TS4 is brand new and many mixed feelings on it. Unless a miracle happens you most likely can pick up a TS4 for less than new if you wanted down the road. TS4 sounds like it shoots good but I have doubts how long it would last in a home collection unless you have kids that really like it.
Just remember you can always sell a game and buy another that you like better so don’t be afraid if you end up not liking a game.

Quoted from naf_llabnip:

This is common with WOZ owners. I love mine and will never part with it, BUT if I had to do a count of how frequently I play it, out of my little 4 game collection it ranks #3 or #4 with play counts. I have a Space Shuttle right next to it, I can flip it on, powers on immediately, the game is hard as hell, and within a few minutes I can play a complete game of pinball, turn the machine off, and get a quick pin fix. For WOZ, I feel the need to dedicate a good hour to play it. I also have Wonka and absolutely love that title. My nephews are completely wowed by WOZ, but they will keep hitting "start" on Wonka and gravitate to the faster gameplay on Wonka machine versus my others. If I had a TS4, honestly they would probably play the heck out of it (more than WOZ). Just food for thought.

Quoted from paulbaptiste:

Woz is absolutely incredible. I didn’t like the game on location. It was too dark, couldn’t hear what was going on and had no idea what to do. Purchased a RR Edition and got they game home and everything changed. The game is like a novel and it just keeps unfolding, layer after layer, deeper and deeper and very few will ever see the end of it. That’s a large reason for its staying power in my collection. For some reason getting to the wizard mode does seem possible even though logically I know I’m not good enough to get there, but it makes me believe it’s possible.
Melting the witch is the most rewarding accomplishment in all of pinball in my opinion and worth the adventure alone. I did wait and found a version with 2.0 boards and glad I did. I’ve fixed a lot of things on my game over time but never have to mess with the lighting.
