Personally, I think The Shadow is a far superior game.

I looked at pics of the other one for sale to see what you meant by flipper wear. Honestly, that's a little unusual, and no, there is no "sticker" or anything else you could use to cover it up. If you can't live with it, it would be a fairly expensive thing to fix, and I personally could understand why that would be enough to turn you away unless you were getting a killer price.

Good luck on your decision!

There's no cheap fix for bare wood right above the flippers. Either learn to live with it/ignore it, or prepare yourself for an expensive, time consuming and labor intensive undertaking of tearing down the playfield and sending it out to be restored and clear coated. And then putting it all back together again and making sure everything works!

As far as complexity/reliability, both should be about the same. Stuff will break, you will be confused, you will think you can't fix it. Then eventually you'll search Pinside or RGP and find out that you aren't the first one dealing with the issue, you'll take several deep breaths and get the guts to dig in and try to fix whatever is broken. And you'll have a great sense of accomplishment when you fix it, along with a bit of hair-pulling along the way. And the next time something breaks the whole process will seem a little easier.
