Quoted from CaptainNeo:But storage is the key element here.
Both of the swappable systems are lacking good stories around extra playfield storage.
There are some valid questions raised about both:
- Can you slide in extra playfields/modules from the front of the machine? Seems like with the Heighway setup, the playfield would be wider than the opening in the legs at the front. At least with the P3 there are more options to slide it through the front of the legs.
- How do you prevent "hangar rash". Unprotected things in a garage or under a game take abuse over time. The last thing I would want to deal with is having to adjust switches, or clean dust off a playfield to swap it in. They need to be ready to go when I am ready to use them. A covered and protective storage box seems essential.
- Are there proper standoff points on the bottom of a playfield or module so that it can sit on the floor without any of the mechs sitting in the floor? Do the standoffs provide the proper support to keep a playfield from warping?
