The right rail on the VE may need a nudge so it will not bump the top of Samuel L's head.
They are both good games and pretty equal playwise. People prefer VE's beacuse chances are they are HUO, newer and lower plays. I have never seen a Routed VE for sale. That being said what is the discount for an original compared to a VE? It is very hard for buyers and sellers to decide. They are both pretty much equal. The hardest part is the discount on the age and plays. iMHO.
Get either if you can work through that. It is my favorite. Be warned though - IM does not and will never respect you or anyone else, but you and everyone will respect it.
