I've been playing JP2 Prem regularly on location for two years now. I'm a terrible pinball player and can barely get past the first paddock, but I like the dinosaur theme and always enjoy the tension of making precise shots to rescue park rangers, set traps and capture a brachiosaurus.

When we got our first NIB Stern pin, we had a big debate about whether to get JP2 and Godzilla, and eventually chose Godzilla (Prem), which had - at the time - only just come out. I love Godzilla and don't regret that at all, but am now looking at a second modern Stern.

I've just put down a deposit on a JP2 Prem (finally). However, I was playing a Foo Fighters Pro on location, and started having second thoughts about my JP2 Prem deposit. No interest in the band Foo Fighters at all, but I found the shots interesting, liked the graphic design (and the cartoon strip), and I kept feeling that I might eventually get frustrated with JP2 because I make so little progress.

For background, we own Godzilla (Prem), Fish Tales (my favourite pin), CFTBL (my husband's favourite pin), Alien Poker (under restoration) and have a TNA CE coming in next week (we both love that). We also have an AFM (original one), which I'm planning to sell, as shooting up the middle bores me senseless. I also really enjoy Flash Gordon and had one for a while, but my husband didn't like it.

We both play regularly in tournaments/leagues here in the UK.

People who've got both Foo and JP2 (or have played both), what do you think?

Thanks for the response. It is tough, isn't it? I absolutely want to get better at playing pinball and go regularly to league, and tournaments. When I'm playing well, I love a challenging pin and really enjoy trying to get through the second paddock. On Friday, however, I was playing terribly for health-related reasons and felt so frustrated on JP2.

Most of the pins we have currently are either difficult, or set up difficult. The easiest pin we have is Godzilla. Our AFM has hugely wide outlanes and it's easier to shoot up the middle than get the multiball. I would say it's off-putting (and it is when I'm ill), but I get very bored with easier pins. I sold Lord of the Rings because I used to get frustrated bricking shots without the ball draining. I found just flapping the ball around irritating if I didn't make progress.

We don't have the space, unfortunately. AFM is having to leave for JP2 already.

This was why it's taken me this long to put down a deposit on a JP2. I fell in love with JP2 from the first moment I watched the two-hour Elwin rules video, and it was a toss-up whether I got Godzilla or JP2.

We then had a long period of expecting to have four pins only, so - if I'd got JP2 - that would have been two Elwins, Fish Tales and 'something else' (started as Lord of the Rings, and has also been PinBot and Flash Gordon). I didn't want two Elwins in a four-pin collection.

We've now got six pins, including three Bally/Williams, a classic (Alien Poker under restoration) and TNA CE on order. So, it feels pretty varied and I don't feel two Elwins would be an issue.

I generally find I don't enjoy most of the modern Sterns - all my favourites to date have been Elwin (plus Rush and Star Wars, maybe). I was obviously curious to play Foo as it's by a new designer.
