Went pro, the additions are ok on the prem, but not worth the price difference. Pro is a great game and $2500 difference is alot of money to justify.

Yup I wouldn't consider a TWD prem/le because of that ramp, pro is better.

For GB, I would prefer the premium, but just couldn't justify the price difference, and its just a bit more bling not really gameplay improving features. (except maybe the physical ball lock)

Finally got a chance to play a premium and figured I'd post my views:

For the differences:

Cab: pro looks way better no question, the premium looks like its a sun faded cab where as the pro is colorful and more detailed - pro

Translite: both are great - tie

Ecto goggles: very meh did do anything for me and I didnt look at them much while playing - tie

Magna slings: I do like the idea, but as there is little difference between them and standard - tie

Models: obviously premium is better here, the models look really great - prem

Slimer: I liked when he was out of the way on the premium but don't like how he drags his butt really brings down the coolness of it, and I prefer how he moves better on the pro - pro

Ramps:
-The prem look much better, are made of metal and I really like the idea of the subway
-The right ramp doesn't feel much different (shot is still very tight) but comes back of course to the left flipper it would be cool getting some loops going on it.
-The scoop is better than the esp shot on the pro since sometimes it comes back out on the pro.
-However on the prem many times if the shot isn't quite hard enough to the left ramp, it wont quite come up the other side and will just roll back and fourth for approx 15 seconds, the ball search will activate etc and eventually it will settle down and spit out the kickout; I found this very disruptive to the game play - where as the pro doesn't look as good, it plays very smooth and fast. - undecided

Playfield colour: the playfield colours are quite a bit different on the prem, darker, and alot more dark blue, both are still very nice but I think I like the prem better - prem

Other:
-If you think its hard to see the PKE lanes on a pro, the premium having a higher left ramp almost blocks them
-You cannot backhand the left ramp on the prem where as I do all the time on my pro.
-I don't know why but I was having a lot of crazy airballs on the prem where as I don't get many on my pro.

To sum it up, its actually a tougher call than I though Id be having I do think the prem suffers in gameplay a bit due to the left ramp but does look a bit more - well 'premium' when your standing next to it

Strange, I did look and the bubble was in the middle, no idea what that means for a pitch but shouldn't be bad, could be the flippers are turned down but it wouldn't go over on that one. I just figured it was because the ramp was higher than the pro, making it harder but if you guys can backhand it it must just be the settings in that machine.

That wouldn't help it not making it up the other side of the subway though, maybe its not all machines but it happened 4/5 times where it didn't have enough momentum to make it up out of the subway and sloshed back and fourth for 15sec or so and started the ball search etc, the diverter was working for locking balls; I don't know what else you can adjust that would help that issue.

Just sold my pro and upgraded to a premium not sure if I prefer the upgrades and if they are worth it but I love playing this game and want the best one. Have to pucker a bit again now for the first few hundred plays, hopefully this one isnt a ghoster!
