The LE cabinet looks goofy and stands out in a bad way in a line up. I put mine next to a Centaur II and it now looks just fine, not nearly as noticeable.

Take advantage of the LE's great price for a pin that is every bit as enjoyable to play. Some even seem to prefer the LE due to the score being easier to see when you are playing. Also the cabinet art is very different. I am not a huge fan of gold color and the LE cabinet has that as a predominate color, but I can live with it.

Quoted from xTheBlackKnightx:

All PFs are the same size.
Physical playfield surface is the same. All are identical and could be used interchangably in theory.

I would disagree with this at least as far as the wiring harnesses are concerned.

I got a dead EBD-LE that was in peices. When I tried to plug the playfield into the rest of the harness (the plug that has the controlled lamps as I recall) the plug was not right. It was clear that the playfield had been pulled from anther EBD, probably a different generation.

I can't remember if the plugs were different, if I had two female plugs or the wires were in different spots on the plug.

But I do know that I had to cut off both plugs, trace all of the wires, and solder them together to get the pin to work.

That sounds like what I vaguely remember experiencing (many dead pins have gone through my hands and they all start to blend into one).

I think it was the controlled lamps that did not work until the plug was "fixed". Thankfully lamps are easier to trace out compared to some other playfield wires.

I am sure my playfield was out of a non-LE cabinet, it was a piecemeal of several EBDs.

I just figured it was useful info to have known that you just can't swap a playfield between all EBDs in 5 minutes via some simple plug connectors. Though I am sure for many EBD you can do a very fast swap.
