I must say, it really is a breath of fresh air to see someone like AP firing on all cylinders given all the ongoing negativity/uncertainty with other manufacturers.
Took the "deep dive", got stoked about the game (really does look sensational and should be appealing to both operators and home users), and had to continuously remind myself that it's only going to cost a couple hundred more OTD than a Stern Pro! Very well-done, AP, I hope you guys are wildly successful with this!
If the game features the same solid build quality as Houdini and OKF and sells well (which seems likely based upon what I have seen), I think AP will start putting some much needed pressure on the others, especially given the surprisingly reasonable MSRP. Thinking mostly with my "left brain", I just don't see any significant justification to choose a Stern Pro over this game, given how much more AP seems to be offering at roughly the same price point. (In fact, I think this game might even eclipse the average Premium in several ways.)
