Just entered the club, but it will be a few months before I can play.
As far as the alternate translite, from what I understand, it was created as a one-off but later 'taken' by ministryofpinball to sell. The version for sale doesn't have the same quality as the original alternate version. I bought the game with the original alternate version, so I'll report back.
Anyway, looking forward to getting JD setup and rockin.
