I think once you get accustomed to troubleshooting one or the other the transition is intimidating. I'm an EM guy and do enjoy some SS games. They always scare the crap out of me though. And the few I've had have been sold before they crapped out on me. It's scary to me that the potential issues are hidden in a component that may not show any defect. Like you say I like that I can physically see the logic in an EM.
