Quoted from Lermods:

Own both, I’m choosing hobbit, but these games couldn’t be more different in just about every way.
Metallica games tend to be very short and it’s tough to progress, not as brutal as iron man, but tough. Great rule set and decent flow.
Hobbit to me is one of the most immersive games ever built, fantastic theme integration. Long ball times, much like lotr, but the rewards are awesome, killing Smaug is quite a rush. If I were you, I’d start by selecting the theme that most appeals to you.

This. Both games are great for different reasons.

That said, I love MET, but my advice (FWIW) would be to sell the MET Pro and pick up a Hobbit for a different quality gameplay experience. If you miss MET too much, you can add a Premium/LE (better version) back into your collection in the future.

-OR - trust your older son's apparent spot-on instinct for bitchin' games and get a Mustang Premium/LE. VERY fun and HIGHLY underrated (mainly due to theme unfortunately)!

Quoted from adol75:

... It's a big empty widebody playfield, not much too shoot ...

I've seen this criticism of Hobbit before and have never understood it. Hobbit has lots of shots to me - and requires many varied targets to be hit within its many modes.
