Quoted from PinsOnly:Yes, The light show is usually the deal breaker on Pro's for me, but I like that the shot arrows on the Pro on GOTG are RGB lit, which is great! If it's GI Lighting, I am not as concerned about it as we prefer to play in pretty bright light anyway. What other inserts are RGB lit and do they play a big part in the overall game?
I do appreciate all the insights here. I have been trying to scan through the pinside threads here, but it is tough, the GOTG is here thread is 86 pages and the owners club is 56 pages or something. It is tough to find the specific info.
I believe all the inserts in the Prem/LE are clear and RGB lit as opposed to just the arrows on the Pro. This makes for a cooler light show for certain but I don't know that it affects game play in anyway. Look for some youtube videos of both, there is a really good one of Bowden playing the Pro and I've seen some shorter ones of the Premium in play. I played both nearly side by side not too long ago and the Premium is definitely nicer to look at and has those cool extra elements like spinners. I bought a Pro but mainly for two reasons: 1) I don't know that I'll keep it for a very long time (I might as I do really like it) and 2) I got a really good deal on one that was nearly brand new.
Can't go wrong either way on this game IMO, but only you can decide if it's worth the extra $$ for the Prem/LE.
