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.

I don't think they would need to call it a premium or pro or anything if there was only 1 version. They could just call it AC/DC or XMEN or whatever.

Is there any difference in the gameplay between Tron Pro and Tron LE? or is it just the added bling?

Like with LOTR, I like how they had the original version and the LE. I know the LE was released much later, but the fact that the playability of both games is identical is awesome. If you want "Bling" get the LE. If not, don't and you'll still have the same game.

I agree 100%. The LE should only have cosmetic differences. Don't change the whole game.

You make a very valid point here. I may have just changed my opinion

No I'm not saying that at all. I just it would be cool if there were an option to have the LE features and not have to pay for the bling (RGB LEDs and powder coating). Of course it would have to cost more than a pro. That goes without saying. I like that they did and ACDC Premium. I think it would be neat to have premiums for all new pins...But I don't run Stern!
