I love my SW Premium and the topper. It is a great game and the topper was totally worth the price because it completes the game. There no shame in that at all. I bought WPT NIB as one of my dream themes. Everyone maligned that game too and once they replaced all the defective SAM MPUs and updated the software, it turned out to be a GREAT game. I also love my BKSoR LE and would not be without the great topper on that one too. Speaking of every how every MPU on the first SAM game was defective and had to be replaced; I will also state for the record that I am an electronics engineer by trade and I LOVE the SPIKE II system. It is so simple and eliminated 90% of the wiring in the games. I have never had the slightest issue with it and love the 2.1 sound.
Obviously I read Pinside, but I don't give a shit what anyone else thinks of my choices. I also don't give a shit about what other people choose, unless they put Pinstadium lighting into a modern Stern that already has full factory LEDs. That is inexcusable.
