This was my takeaway as well after playing at GSPF. I stood waiting behind a non-pinhead woman in her 50's, and watched her put up a game that lasted well over 20 minutes. It's pretty easy to make your shots & start modes. Great shooter, cool scoring options, & beautiful for sure. But as you said, long game times are a turnoff for me. Thanks Ironman I briefly thought of selling my MET to fund an IMDN. Now after playing, there's no way. That's my opinion.

Didn't get a chance to play ACNC, so I can't comment. Houdini was sure fun though. Deadpool on the near horizon. Perhaps wait until that reveal? Seems like you have some time to decide on ACNC, or slide back your spot & wait a bit longer. Probably go Houdini, but I don't like buying from new companies either.
