GI issues on Sterns is typically much more subtle. On my Avatar for instance I considered installing the GIzmo, but then I realized the GI never flashes on this game--it only completely turns off twice and never strobes so it looks natural as-is. Need for this board is going to vary from game to game. Personally, it should be slapped in any Sega game that has LEDs for GI. I put it in my Goldeneye 007 and it made the constant strobing tolerable. Sega and Data East titles always had intentionally bad strobing that is only further exaggerated with LEDs so the board is perfect for those. Other modern Sterns will have similar issues (I recall Ripley's strobing the GI a lot) but again the necessity for the board is going to be higher for some games and lower (or needless) for others.
