I have owned both and no question - Hobbit is still here and is an amazing experience and fun for new and old (and this is from someone who likes the theme of GB more than Hobbit . I liked GB but didn't love the playfield geometry, airballs and drains on the Prem/LE and the code for mode selection is still too linear - hope that gets fixed with a code update. Hobbit is not perfect but for your money there is no comparison in terms of what you get in the box compared to GB.
