Man, what a bunch of debbie downers. The T-Rex on the Premium (and the different choreography for each of the T-Rex modes) is possibly the coolest "toy" in any Stern pinball. Puts a smile on my face and gives you some time to take a breath from the intense gameplay...definitely doesn't slow the game too much and is certainly not a distraction. The rules on this game tell a story, and T-Rex makes the story come to life. The raptor gate is also very cool. I've owned 2 Premiums and both T-Rex's worked great (no need to dial-in or fix).

Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:

As others have advised, Pro is a great value and also less headache. A short list of Prem/LE mechs that are unreliable:
JP Rex
Maiden newton balls and mummy lock
TWD crossbow
Stranger Things TK lock
Metallica hammer
I'm sure you will enjoy your Premium, but if you have the option and your distributor has Pros in stock, it may be a better and quicker option, since you said you did really enjoy it. Could always add that mod to make the Pro Rex move, but not catch the ball.

Quoted from Guinnesstime:

Kiss Demon Lock was an absolute PITA for me as well.

Since I'm typically a Premium customer, no doubt that more mechs means more headaches. Unfortunately, it often means less fun. I've never had an issue that couldn't be resolved, and for me, tracking these problems down and working with Pinsiders is part of what makes this an interesting hobby.
