Quoted from Psw757:Just wondering is the Williams really that much better for the average person with a small collection say 5-6 machines?
Yes!
I have a very small collection....but I've had a few pins come and go over the last few years (about 17) and the four I have now are the closest I've come to having 'keepers'.
WMS IJ is my most recent acquisition. It has a lot going on but is very easy to learn....much easier to figure out than any of the newer Stern's......except for IM. Great integration of the theme, great call outs and music and a ton of fun modes to play. I even enjoy the video modes on this one. You should be able to find a clean working one with a nice playfield in the 5k range.....it will need new cabinet decals at that price point but those are easy to get (harder to put on) and relatively cheap considering the value they add.
