Quoted from mechslave:Again, I trust Roger Sharpe on this one. If the cabinet has a bit of that flimsy/hollow feel that Sterns sometimes have, then he won't approve it. The cabinets will be to exact Williams specs, that is how I understand it.

If Sharpe still works for Wms I sure wouldn't count on this. Wms dropped pinball because shareholders didn't think it produced enough profit. Wms and their shareholders are all about profit and if you think he would dump a chance to make money for the shareholders over a flimsy "feel" to the finished game - well I wouldn't hold your breath. If the basic specs match up (and who knows how they will calculate this) then it's gonna get approved.
Look if it has Wms no-buzz dual wound flipper coils it will *already* feel better than any Stern. And I own a couple good Sterns
