Had a Pro, loved it, sold only to buy a low play Premium, which I love ever so slightly more. They are both great machines.
The hammer can block you line of sight occasionally, but when it goes off and smashes that ball through the playfield - NEVER gets old. Add the GI effects into that. I also found the Premium’s RGB arrow inserts to be much more useful in knowing what’s going on with each lane, vs the simple red on the Pro. The rising cross is mostly pointless, but I’ll put up with it matching the DMD animations.
