Having played both the LE and a Pro, it feels like the upper playfield just isn't all that interesting right now. That being said, I am sure Stern will make it a lot better as time goes on and the light show on the LE IS pretty rad. Not thousands of dollars rad, but definitely well done. I think the premium will be the way to go in the future, while the Pro is the better deal now. If you plan on keeping it around I'd get the premium, but the pro is still a really fun game.
