I’m planning on purchasing a NIB Dialed In. Is the LE worth the $1000 more than the standard? What are the major improvements for the LE over the standard? I want your advice

Quoted from Cloud7:I went LE because of the blue powder coating, lighted ramp and invisiglass.
Me too. What he said. ^^^^^^^^

Thanks, I was trying to find this.
Quoted from smognote:Don’t forget the book manual as well. A great addition for the LE
Still waiting on mine
I have a LE but got to play a standard today on location and although it played the same something didn't feel right. I really like the ramp lights and the etched city scape plastic.
Quoted from woody76:Still waiting on mine
Yep but will have it sooner than later from what i gather
Its actually an LE that worth the extra $1K....blue powder coating, invisiglass, lighted ramps, exterior headphone jack, and printed manual....if you don't care about those things than go with the standard.....
LE is really cool and if you can spend tthe 1k extra do it. If no take SE, save some bugs and you won't Miss anything important.
Just to pile on here, I agonised over this decision for weeks, and finally just decided to go LE. If any one of the LE features are important to you, it’s almost a wash. The Invisiglass alone would cost $300 to upgrade, and the additional accoutrements (see what I did there?) easily add up
Overwhelming majority say go LE. I definitely don’t want to buy standard then regret not spending a little more to have the added features. I just wanted to get your opinions on whether it was worth it. LE it is!!!
I have a Standard and love it. At the time I purchased the game, I just couldn't quite swing the extra $1,000. Honestly, the glass I have on mine is really good. No glare from the monitor or anything. I can easily see the entire playfield. I've added a few inexpensive Mezel Mods to brighten up a few spots. Sure, I miss the ramp lights but that's about it for me. I can always add powder coated armor later and the other differences don't matter to me (headphone jack, manual, different cityscape, different signage on Quantum theater).
If you can swing the $$$ for an LE and like the upgrades it has over the Standard, then get one. But if not, get a Standard...it's still an awesome game.
Good luck.
The shaker is included on the SE. That would make me lean that way. That’s a really good value. Then, I’d powder coat it myself the purlple Quantum Haze collector colour 
If you're the kind of person to powder coat your games and add Invisiglass, go LE. Otherwise, go standard.
I also like the idea of customizing my own powdercoating to give my own look. I wish they would give the option of ordering a SE with Invisiglass all the other perks I could live without but Invisiglass is a must.

Invisiglass in germany is only 185$ and powdercoating cost around 150$ - so for me was it easy but if you can and will go LE
Quoted from delt31:LE all the way but don't buy brand new. Try to find it used and it will be 8-8300.
I’m trading my tron plus cash for NIB. I’ve never owned a new pin, so I’m looking forward to that new pin smell

Unlike Stern, JJP actually gives you your money's worth on upgrading from a Standard to an LE. If you price out the upgrades, you come pretty close to $1000 of value.

I've got an LE on the pinside market right now for $7800.
the ramps make me say go for the le
the other features are nice but I love those ramp lights on the one I play on location
Quoted from PinMonk:I've got an LE on the pinside market right now for $7800.
Thanks, that’s a nice price, but I’ve got a local distributor than will take my tron as a trade and pay the difference.

Haha! I wasn't offering to sell it to you on the other side of the country, just pointing out that a nice Dialed In LE can be had used for $7800, rather than $8000-8300.

How much are you getting for your TRON?

It's meaningless if you have to pay $4-500 to ship. Winds up being the same thing if you can find one local.

Wow. THE POINT is if they're $7800 here then you're likely to find a $7800 one WHERE YOU ARE, TOO. CA is generally more expensive anyway, so it might be even less. That's all.

Me personally, I like the feeling of cold hard steel under my fingers when I play pinball. DISE all the way.
I made a little table with all the additional features of the LE and had a column for both the most and the least I would be willing to pay if I could buy each feature individually. Added up the columns to see if the LE was worth it to me.
Quoted from smognote:Don’t forget the book manual as well. A great addition for the LE
That hasn't come with any les yet that I have seen?

Congratulations on first NIB. Such a great feeling and yours will be a JJP. Added bonus. Enjoy.

I think the $7800 for a used LE is not the norm.
Quoted from Ramjet:I think the $7800 for a used LE is not the norm.
No, it's a great price. But not the only time that machine has been at this level.
Quoted from Ramjet:I think the $7800 for a used LE is not the norm.
It's just you dont' see them for sale much (yet?)
2 years later
Quoted from Pinchild:Pick up flawless SE for 6k
