Mark Ritchie or Barry Oursler are the only two that come to mind not really overlooked though? A Brian Eddy table would sell like hot cakes, although I could see Jack throwing some stupid money to get him out of retirement.

I have always stuck to the belief that Sterns biggest issue is that they consider themselves a "manufacturer" not a pinball company. That is why their machine have always lacked that special B/W feeling.

If Stern keeping crank out another Metallic quality pro with Aerosmith, then follow up with a quality pro Star Wars, both at MSRP $6000, then I can tell you a lot of people will still be going NIB. I think you will see the gap between Pro and Premium climb a little higher to a full 2k, well LE will be the norm at $9995 maybe with added topper as standard.
