Suggest OP change title of thread from HUO to "Home Editions".
The answer depends on what you can afford / are comfortable paying.
Here's my brief thoughts
1. If you are ok with the extra money, absolutely skip the home editions
2. IMHO, rather than getting a home edition that costs > $4000, consider a Bally/Williams or a Data East that a collector has fixed up. Will be a better experience, IMHO
3. But if you want a "light" pinball experience, must have NIB, and are ok with the $4k+ price tags, go ahead. But be aware (IMHO) these are much less desirable.
