I am going to buy my first pin and I am thinking of going straight to NIB. Right now I am thinking IM or ST. Any advice would be great!

Monster- why?

Why the preference?

I have played both and like both. I am huge Star Trek fan but I feel like the code is lacking and not challenging enough. Kobiashu maru isn't challenging to get to. I do want a challenging game so I can practice for league play..

Any idea when the next software update might come. That would influence my decision.

well now you have me seriously thinking about Metallica...
Guys in our league have both IM and ST but no one has Metallica...
Watched some videos and looks like fun.

Well thanks for all the comments and banter. I decided to buy MET pro but got overruled(not family friendly). So I am getting ST pro. Hoping that new rule set will come out in the next 3-6 months!
