You should play an IMDN and make up your mind. As a fan of their music anyway, I'd go Maiden. I love my Pro. I've not owned an AFM myself, but always enjoy playing them.

If nothing else I would get Maiden since you've owned an AFM before. If you miss AFM afterwards then sell and get one.

Not sure what you mean, if you don't change songs on accident, with the default settings it keeps your place in the music between balls. That is a must imo.

I think I read if in earlier code that if you set the option for songs to not be changeable between balls, it did something odd like play the beginning of the song again between balls, only to resume the correct place once you plunged - but they removed that option I believe, and I'm fine with it works on 1.02 default...

In fact I think this the best implementation of music in a "music pin" yet - provided you like Iron Maiden's music of course... The only thing I find jarring is the occasional accidental flip before plunging that changes the song and loses your place.

I can see that criticism a bit - I'm not sold on two of the main modes being multiball modes in addition to Mummy and Trooper MBs. But Aces and Rime are both fairly quick - I don't feel overloaded with multiballs. I do however dislike the fact that they cannot be stacked with anything, and lock you out of making progress on the main multiballs. I would like very much if you could make the choice of wailing on the captive ball or drops for progress vs shooting the mode jackpots, etc, even if you couldn't start those while still in the mode.
