I wouldn't listen to the folks that say the 90s stuff is far superior to anything new, that may be their preference but not a fact.

I prefer newer pins (and I've owned several 90's pins TZ, IJ, CFTBL, STTNG, T2, TOTAN) and IMO they not any better than the new stuff (Met, TWD, WoZ, Tspp, LotR). I'm not saying the 90s stuff is bad but just that my preference is for the newer games.

From your list I'd suggest TWD pro or premium some people (like me) prefer the pro, but it can be very unforgiving or for something much different WoZ (which is the next pin I am getting).

Consider Spiderman, Tron, IM, Metallica pro, Tspp as well.

I was greatly debating AFM LE but ended up with WoZ RR and will get TNA instead. I am sure I'd love AFM also, but I do have a lot of similar layout games so I wanted something a lot different.

I played DI on location and the PF protector was horrible, it was causing some bumps (over the Mick on a stick track) and was kind of not good looking, I was going to say it collects dirt (or may be prone to discoloration).

IMO if I'm reading your post correctly you are looking for more than one pin.

I think Woz is the perfect choice for one, may even consider TNA (as I am) but you may want to see and play it first. So I am hesitant to recommend it 1000%

I *would* recommend a pin like Met (pro), IM VE, TWD (pro) as a second.

These pins (pro versions) are simple and elegant and don't have as many moving parts as WoZ true and don't have as many angle shots (although) they do have some interesting features

Met pro (in line drop targets, Fuel lane, captive ball, sake and Sparky)
IM three spinners (I know it's just spinners but they are fun), kickback, magnets, rising monger figurine.
TWD pro has an odd layout like a modified IM/Met with a prison toy, magnet, drop target bank and probably the most intense rules in pinball.

To note any of these three pins will be fast and a counterpoint to Woz as well as costing a few grand less than a new AFM remake.

To me those thee are equal to Tron but at a lower price.

I was going to recommend SM as well but it is a long ball time game which is fun as well.
