Quoted from NightTrain:
I agree with you somewhat. I don't like that Stern does this "LE" thing now. I wish they still just made all machines the same. They could get rid of some of the "Bling" that the LE models have and keep in all of the components that contribute to the game play. They could put the pricing somewhere in between the pro and LE price tag. I don't need a little plaque and powder coated armor. But AC/DC for instance, when you get rid of that lower playfield, I think that takes a lot away from the game. The pro is still great, I just don't like that they get rid of some of the toys that the LE has. A nice common middle ground would be great.

And should the call it "Premium"? Maybe price it closer to the LE?

Stern makes the most money this way, and even if Gary loves pinball and keeps the lights burning, he is running a business.

And on the original point, I love my Tron "Pro". I played them before I bought it, and only bought after I already loved the game.

Quoted from bobbyconover:
Yeah, a little. The TRON LE has an exclusive Daft Punk multiball mode. As a Daft Punk fan it bums me out to not have it on the Pro. It also has drop targets on the left instead of stand-ups.

Plus, by the time I discovered how much I liked Tron, the price difference for the LE was huge. I was late to the game for the LE because I really hate buying a game I don't like to play. I really need to play and like it before buying it. I really love some Stern machines, and just hate others. So I won't catch lightning like Tron LE, but I also won't be stuck with a lemon like (insert Stern game you don't like here).
