nope, TNA is the current industry standard for quality playfield!

it is a self appointed position. I was going to try for old and grumpy czar but that position is taken

Reality is that whatever new thing Spooky came up with for TNA is simply amazing. I have the experience of lots of games I maintain at home and on route that get substantially more plays than the majority of home collections ever will. In those experiences, TNA playfields are obviously a cut above the other options.

The new Mirco stuff is better than the old, but I still dont like the softness of the wood they are using and overall it is not on the same level as TNA.

TNA actually has repeated and heavy use of both ball scoop kickouts, orbits, and the drop from the shooter lane skip ramp always hitting the same place.
Aside from that, go look at their TNA test rig at Spooky that is still running with over a million ball hits/cycle to abuse the playfield and that should show you all you need to understand.

At this point, it is not a bold statement. It is factual with both test rig evidence to observe and real world experience (my own and other operators that have even super busy locations; 1 location in particular has a TNA with over 12,000 plays already and the playfield looks amazing!)

I wish you would consider your comments before understanding the experiences and worth of others opinions rather than attempting to invalidate them with silly comments liek saying they are cheerleading...
