LE for $8,400 (after shipping)

or

SE for $6,800 (pick up at show)

If these were your only two options being considered, which would you choose?

I flew out to expo and put at least 40 games on MBr. I also helped a friend set up his LE and I really don't care about the topper. I don't like feeling the plaque. It's not a huge deal, but if I had a choice, I would leave it out.

I do like the plasma disc ($80), mirror blades ($100), and shaker motor ($150). I LOVE the blue powder coating. Even if I powder coat it, I will still come out way ahead.

For the $700 difference between LE and SE, I like the LE. But a $1,600 difference (and the fact that I'm still waiting, even though I ordered at expo) and not having to bring an extra game to TPF for the the number of passes I need is too good of a deal to not take. I just wanted to throw it out there to see what others thought, because I still feel a tiny bit of regret for not getting an LE (because I usually want what I feel is the best thing out there).

No tax. I changed my order from an LE to an SE and made final payment via wire transfer today. $500 off and no shipping cost is amazing. Only thing that would be better is if I was getting an LE $7,500.
