Quoted from Gryszzz:I kinda feel bad for those holding on to their originals. I don't care for MB, but I am looking for an AFM and honestly, am not even considering an original. Why would I?
That's ok man you don't have to feel bad for me it's cool..... 
Quoted from FarFromHeaven26:Indeed. The Bally/Williams originals of MM, AFM and MB have been and will be vastly inferior in every sense, in sturdier build quality, in lighting, additions, toppers and interactivity. You have to wonder WHY anyone holding on to an original would or could offer a reason to hold them as the age-old argument "original is better" has been roundly disproved. But I can't blame these people. The value of their machines has plummeted and the desirability is rapidly declining. Some in this fraternity who have exploited and gloated over the increasing value deserve no sympathy, but those innocents who never intended to sell their machines are now (sadly) holding to an inferior product.
CGC rules!
Boo Hoo Hoo Hoo poor pitiful me and here I thought my MB was going to finance my way through Harvard Boo Hoo Hoo 
Quoted from FarFromHeaven26:First off is a sturdier build quality on the re-makes which includes even the wood used.
Nah, I don't buy that point. The playfield wood is much softer on the remakes. Therefore you will see much more and much deeper ball impact divots on the playfield. The clear coats on the remakes are different due to the chemical changes for environmental reasons (couple this with the softer PF wood and you get the drift). The boards are surface electronics. (throw away and get a new board IMHO) This coupled with JarbyJibbo's Cabinet assessment, makes the sturdier build quality argument weak at best.
Quoted from musketd:Remake will be far superior to the original
Quoted from FarFromHeaven26:More
Nice try but WRONG. The originals use balsa wood. The re-makes are produced with stronger plywood. So far we are seeing no ball divets as it is much too soon to even speculate on the front. But I get it. You are an original supporter and you will spin it your way. I get it. Fair enough.
Uh no... I think your facts are mixed up
