Hi guys,

a friend of mine offered me a HUO Ghostbuster LE with swapped playfield for $10.272 (9.500€).
The new Playfield has never seen a ball on it.

My other option is to buy a NIB Premium for $ 8.785 (8125€) and add a Shaker and powder coat the legs and new siderails.

The difference between the two is $ 1.065 (985,00€) if these two Parts were added.

Here is my pro/contra list:

Pro LE:

- Limited Edition
- Green Armor
- "long-term maintenance of" value
- new Playfield (second run?)

Pro Premium
- Second run (bugs fixed?)
- Cabinet art
- saved 1000 bucks
- same gameplay as LE
- Time to make a buy-decision

con LE:
- expensive
- Art/Backglass

con Premium:
- have to add Hardware (extra Work)
- not so exclusive and maybe not stable in value

So hope you can tell me your opinion.

he added a shaker in the LE.

The 1k i would save with premium i can use for my new car to add some extras - hard decision

Thank you for your opinions.... It is a hard desision.

@eskaybee: i only have place for one more machine... So GOT is not my theme and the lower playfield is not my cup of Tee

Ghostbusters is a killer theme ... And i liked the pro alot, played a LE and liked the features but was not so fluent like the pro.

I only looking for keepers a mix of new and older games (short runs like CC, BOP2.0). And will shrink my lineup down to 8 games.

2 games w. Modes ( LOTR, BOP2.0)
1 game w. flow (MET)
1 game w. stop&go ( ....?)
2 games w. complex rules ( TWD, WOZ)
2 games w. atmosphere ( MB, CCC)

And stop and go could be filled with the GB

Yes le is superb. But if i would take the premium i have a lot of time to decide.

Le is take now or leave it and i have to sell two Pins in 2weeks and must stretch me to fit the 1k more.

Le artwork is nice but also like the clean blue from premium would look nice with white and glowbee powder coat armor.
