Quoted from Palmer:JJP should have taken a page from Stern's book and made the RGB hot rails an aftermarket part that SE owners could purchase for $500. This is the one thing holding me back from purchasing an SE.
Have you seen the hot rails in person? i played the game yesterday and they were much more subdued than I would have thought prior to playing. They are still cool, but I wouldn't consider them a "must have" feature on the game. My biggest let down on the SE is the artwork. It's too bad they couldn't re-work the LE art slightly to make a different variation for the SE. The upper playfield is a pretty fun addition as well, so I would need to see how the game rules function with out it.
