So in my case, I paid a little more than I wanted but I'm very happy with Fathom. I have a mix of old and new games and I have to say that this machine has something special that appeals to me differently than all the others. Everybody has their own opinion of course, but it's value is pretty much what you make it in regards to what you want. The good thing about pinball is that if you change your mind in a few months or years you can sell or trade it to get most of your money back or even make a profit.
Good luck with your decision!
