Quoted from CrazyLevi:

The remakes are a decent facsimile and great for route operators but play wise they compare
Poorly for the originals.
Im really surprised people pay close to $10k for them when you can get originals for less. Even a beater original that’s been refurbished properly is going to play better than a remake. I don’t see why serious collectors would want a remake over an original, of any of these titles.
A big part of it is the flippers, which I will be happy to expound upon in a future thread. I had an original AFM and remake in my place side by side for a week this month and I’m eager to share my thoughts on these weird CGC flippers.
Let’s just say I’ve figured out why they ship them with that dumb short flipper stroke. Fix the stroke and it’s easy to see the weaknesses they are hiding. Soft wide shots like a spooky game, which is exactly why they ship with shallow flipper alignments and short strokes - makes the wide shots easy.
