I don't own either, but play the pro a lot at our monthly comps, they just put a premium in a pub around the corner, so I have had some time on it, the only differences I could notice were that on the premium when you start love gun, the ball does a pretty cool magnet lock where it drags the ball along the backboard and releases it from the star targets, an the kiss drop targets, compared to stand ups on the pro, if your a die hard fan get the premium, but if it was me I would go pro, I didn't find much difference between the 2 machines.
