Honest question, but do you guys really prefer the CE artwork over the LE or are you interested in the CE primarily for the other additions (ball lock, soundbar, lighting, etc.). I'm a pretty big GNR fan and I vastly prefer the LE artwork/color scheme. Having all of those vintage concert posters represented and unique artwork on all side is awesome! The CE artwork is alright but I think the in motion pinball is kind of cheesy, and I'm not sure if I like the 7 member AFD cross. I feel like it should be the original 5 member cross to stay true to the album/band from that era. It might be a blessing in disguise if you have to "settle" for an LE.

I believe the only functional difference on the playfield is that the CE has the apron ball lock for Coma. -On the LE it's a virtual lock and uses the shooter lane to eject the balls vs. the kickback. I believe the lighting on the playfields are the same. CE has extra lighting on the cabinet/undercab, etc.

Keith Johnson was on Final round pinball podcast and mentioned that the CE's aren't done yet and they still have work to do on exterior lighting. It may be a bit longer wait than the LEs which could cause some to be impatient and drop for an LE. With the guaranteed sellout it would make sense for them to push as many of the other versions out now while demand is hot.
