Original. There's been a wealth of information and spare parts to fix them over the past two decades. No doubt they will be easily maintained for a couple decades more. Sure MMR might be more reliable, but it's not more maintainable. If I'm spending $8k on a stupid toy, I need to know I can fix it easily myself when it inevitably breaks down the line. As a normal collector and not one of the smart electronics repair guys, all the tiny surface mount chips and LEDs on the giant remake PCB scare me.

36 to 36. Does that mean original MMs should be $8k games now since people think they're about the same?

Quoted from johnwartjr:

Any time you compare original to remake, I will choose an original. That's just *me*. I don't do LEDs. Don't do chrome or other blingy stuff.

I love LEDs which is why I'd need bulb sockets to do my own!
