Quoted from f3honda4me:

In the past 6 months I’ve bought Star Wars, Star Trek, GotG, IMDN, and now Aerosmith. How many sterns have you bought the past 6 months? I’m practically buying one stern per month, so it’s safe to say I like sterns. I mean doesn’t every stern hater spend $5k a month on sterns?

Swap AS for Met and you and I have the same collection!

I have one of the last to leave the line JJPPOTC LEs and the only issues I had were a sagging screen which damaged the backglass during shipment, JJP already sent me a new one. A ball locking issue with the chest, which I fixes in about 5 minutes with a pair of pliers. So I've had about as much trouble with this highly complex game from a NIB experience, as any others I purchased over the years. I feel like QC has stepped up since earlier this year, but time will tell.

For the differences in standard and LE, I'll keep it simple and let the individual decide what's important. The LE gives you:
powder coating
shaker
RGB GI
external volume control
added playfield molded toys
spinning pop bumper pirate
starfield map
Invisaglass
lighted topper

Its an amazing game, one you really get the feeling its a game you'll keep forever. If I did not own an LE already, I would purchase a standard and add the shaker, Invisaglass, and a bunch of mods from the Mod Couple and Mezel and not look back. I don't think you'll miss the rest. Having the choice, I went with the LE, mostly because the additions easily add up to 1k, so I didn't feel like it was a cash grab, like other model upgrades often are.
