I spent about $1,250 modding my Tron LE . . . I thought I was crazy . . . then I saw I am actually a little lite on mods compared to the majority of the LE owners and virtually ALL of the pro owners . . .
Quoted from Darth_Chris:I think my ACDC will be a decent player but stay close we will have an Overkill Lord of The Pins winner. You can go pretty deep these days with mods.
If I were allowed to gamble (job restriction) I would wager $100 that a Tron Pro is going to win this award running away.
TZ and AFM both have a lot of mods (TZ probably has more total mods than Tron by the numbers) . . . but the sheer cost difference in the mods for Tron compared to the other machines has Tron Pro in a different league. Mods for that game are expensive and numerous.
Plus, mods that you can technically do on any machine, such as laser cutting the words Tron and Enron into the legs and body armor, I have seen done on multiple Tron's and literally no other game. That is big time expensive laser cutting work.
I'm not sure if anyone will say exactly what they have spent but I saw a Tron Pro a couple months ago that had to have over 4k in mods to it . . . maybe 5k.
Quoted from Darth_Chris:We could also see a regular machine but bling with Chrome or Brass to the max.
Again, I still think a Tron Pro will take it (they chrome those suckers out too). The only way I don't see a Tron Pro taking this, and by a huge margin, is if you are counting the restore cost for HEP's . . . then who knows; I've heard some people have spent 10k on that man's superb master work for their MM's.
I don't think you can count restore costs on your initial criteria though.
My prediction (and I think 3 or 4 Tron Pro's will be 1st but just looking at general game mods):
