I've got to be honest, out of every pin I've played so far (many over the past few years since getting into the hobby), Tron is THE absolute stunner of them all. I had no strong interest in it before playing it, and after trying it at Pinfest, I was absolutely blown away. I love every aspect of it. I definitely need to figure out if a Tron Pro will do or if a Tron LE is the way to go. The Tron I played I thought was a LE but others suggested it was a modded pro. Regardless, it was phenomenal. I'm envious of you all for having one already. Once I get Alien here and tucked in, Tron is one of the next two pins on my list.

Quoted from delt31:

Sounds like we have similar taste. I just jumped back into the tron scene after owning 3 trons before them all pro. Love the game, love the speed, sound and look. I went tron LE this time and I just wish it wasn't as expensive b/c it feels like the total package. The ramp lights actually go with the gameplay vs the pros I used to have. Getting a gem shot blue, quora green, sounds simple but it makes it more special. Better call outs, rotating thing in the middle, drop targets and I like shooting the ramps for the exclusive MB. That being said, it is a lot more than a pro. Can't go wrong with either.
Fun game,.

Indeed we do have similar taste. It would be easier to confirm if I was still at PITT and could come try out your games (haha). I really need a detailed breakdown of what differs between the LE and the Pro, and then I'll know. I want the experience I had at Pinfest...it's got to have all of those features because it was incredible. I still can't stop thinking about it. I was lucky too...nobody was playing it at Pinfest when I found it, and nobody lined up behind me, so I just kept going and going and going.

Here is a question: is it only 2 balls per game standard, or is that an option you can set? It was set to 2 balls at Pinfest - I was guessing that was to make the games quicker and thus reduce wait times for other players.

Quoted from Aurich:

If you can both afford and find an LE get it. Can't lose, it's got nice features.
That said, having a modded Pro myself and I've played a lot of LEs and I actually prefer the aftermarket fiber optics on the Pros, they look better when they're off since they're clear and not milky, and I think light a little better.
You basically can't lose, but ramp lights are essential. I wouldn't play the game without them, that's how much they add to the experience.

The ramp lights are indeed stunning...hypnotizing even. I would not have a Tron without them. I thought the pro had ramp lighting without color changing sequencing, and the LE did. Regardless, that feature just looked so incredible, and it didn't hurt that the shots are all a lot of fun. I want a LE so bad...in due time my chance will come, I suppose!

My curiosity was peaked by people anticipating a vault edition Tron at some point. I'm not sure what they'd change...or if it's worth waiting to see what makes a vault edition different from the original release. Seems they got things perfect the first time around anyway.

The Tron I played also had what appeared to be an LCD DMD in it and that was awesome...just a random thought that comes to mind.
