I have watched the videos on these pinballs and looked at the rule set of each game ... but that is WAY DIFFERENT than actually playing them! That is why I am asking for the opinions from the owners and others who have played them alot!!!
Just curious as to what is thought about each of these pinballs from the people that have really played them. I am on the "fence" yet about which ones I may be actually interested in.
Quoted from badbilly27:They all get old after awhile in a collection but I would rate them:
I'd swap the order of SS and MB, but otherwise, I think this is right. I can't say that I have played any of them a lot, however, so I'll defer to others who might actually own the machines.

Part of the equation is how they fit in and enhance your collection. I like TOM because it is a great game and it adds beauty and balance to my gameroom, although it may not be as deep as some of the others.
While it isn't a perfect solution, if you are interested in these four tables and can't get in front of the real things, all four of them are available to play virtually from Farsight's "The Pinball Arcade" for tablet PCs and consoles. It can give you a good idea of the look and feel of the tables.
Out of your list, Monster Bash is my favorite.

Are you thinking of diversifying your collection? That is quite a shift to go from mainly EMs to top end DMDs...
...I also don't really care for Elvira at all, so keep that in mind. I've heard TOM gets old, but I've probably played that as much as any game that I don't personally own over the past year or so, and I still enjoy it. It doesn't have quite the longevity of MM or maybe even MB, though. Actually, for longevity, I might take CV over TOM.
Thanks for all the replies and comments so far! Anyways, I am an old fart and grew up with the EM games. I really enjoy them and think that some of them are vastly under-rated (specific Gottlieb wedgehead titles). Mine are also all restored, so they look & play top notch and faster than you would think!
YES, I want to diversify my pinball collection. I do enjoy the newer pinballs and now want them in my collection. I wish I would have started that a few years ago, when the prices were much more reasonable than today on certain titles.
I am looking for 4 of the newer SS pinballs. I for sure want to purchase a Scared Stiff & Funhouse!
The MM & MB are way to much money for me to spend on a pinball. So my other 2 choices are open yet.
I also want to purchase 2 or 3 of the older SS pinballs (system 11 or before). I for sure want a Space Shuttle pinball. My other options are open yet.
Please keep your replies or comments coming! I appreciate and value them! Thanks

I suggest a Centuar or TX-Sextor. Nice step up in technology from your EMs but still a great feel to them.
Lots of cool Gottliebds out there that you may like. No need to drop big bucks on some of the super A-listers (unless you have the $$$ and are in live with those specific games)
Also plenty of sweet B lister DMDs to check out.
