Well in terms of playability, I will always take a HUO original game.
But that means the game didn’t go through a rotisserie/swap. It’s just straight from the manufacture.
This would be my first choice.

Now if you’re talking about swapping a trashed playfield for an original nos or a cpr Gold?
Well, that’s a tough one.
For example, I have a Dolly with a NOS playfield that I had clear coated first and then installed. Their is no CPR or Mirco playfield for a Dolly currently.

CPR gold playfields are gorgeous. I have many games with cpr playfields and they ALREADY come professionally cleared.

In the end, either choice is very very good. IMHO.

By the way, I’ve owned an EBD with a CPR gold playfield installed.
It looked........amazing.
