I've been struggling with this decision for a while and I'm currently leaning Pro. I think the Premium is the better machine and if money isn't a big consideration I would go that route. The right ramp on the Pro does kind of suck so the Premium upgrades are likely worth it. For me it comes down to uncertainty with the rule-set. I like the GB rules as-is but feel the game is still a step back from games like TWD and GOT in the rules Dept. For me to have $6700 tied up in one machine the rules had better be awesome! I think I can accept merely "Good" rules on a Pro model given the lower price. The rules are basically the same on both models. I do like the rest of the package and enjoy the game as-is. If the extra $1700 isn't a big deal though I'd go Premium.
