Lol. This coming from a guy with a history of negative stern and nutting jjp, and which includes a November 2012 hobbit order when there was even less known about that machine. I have no interest in such biased and contradictory input. Move along. Nothing to see here.

I find the OP question a little strange imo. The big "un-moddable" difference is the cab and translite artwork. If you like the LE cab/translite artwork and don't mind the price difference get it, otherwise get the prem. Pretty straight forward. And dependent on personal preferences. No right answer.

Bastardized pins to that degree are <1% with little cache so they are not a reasonable comparator imo. I'm not seeing any newer pins with modded cab side art being done or for sale. >99% will buy the pin they want based on theme and art and price and only do minor mods.
