I myself got into pinball pretty late in life compared to most (late 30s). Having a limited amount of room (enough for 3 pins) I tended to lean towards flashy lights and color screens, etc. I very much agree with the poster who mentioned if you had a large collection it would make sense. If I had the room I would absolutely have a more diverse collection.
So I guess I agree with you, but if I had the room I certainly wouldnt fill it all up with new games.
