Quoted from Rarehero:I have a Prem on order that I still
haven't received...and I'm still waffling on, honestly. I played the Prem a bunch this weekend at the Portland Retro Expo...it was played for 1 day and had insert ghosting already. I like the right ramp better in theory, but it's very hard to hit and when you do, the ball always stops around the loop and heads back down. Even tho the right ramp on the Pro is a little weird, at least it works. The magna slings are cool until they stop the ball right in the middle and plop it down the drain. The center post kit would help with that, though. I've 100% concluded that the game blows without that kit. Just way way too many cheap center drains. The friggin left scoop shoots it right down the middle 85% of the time.
The left scoop's power can be adjusted to fix this.
Also, I had a pro and enjoyed it. Watched the world premier that GEX(?) in Colorado had for the premium and just didn't see $1,500 worth of extras, but I wouldn't question others who do see the value of the added features. I plan on reacquiring a GB someday but it will likely be a gently used, well cared-for machine and if the price is good it may even be a premium, but I'd be fine with having another pro. I miss the flashing red light show at the start of Storage Facility multiball.
