Stern know they can charge more for an LE for no other reason than its a LE. If you can get the same exact game for less in a premium, why spend more? For a number plate? Painted trim and shaker are nice but that can be done on any pin. I plan on waiting to see how the game plays and if any issues come about. If I like the game, I can choose between prem and pro when the time is right for me.
