to be fair, if you get two Sterns, that's twice the maintenance of one Stern. I doubt WOZ is more than twice the maintenance of a Stern. (although there are probably those who would argue that point )
Quoted from boagman:Starting something simple like multiball should not be a mysterious chore that doesn't really make sense...there should be a pretty clear path, and there isn't.
there are a ton of features, but i don't think any particular feature is overly complicated. starting multiball (Rescue or Emerald City) is pretty straightforward --
EC Multiball: light each lock by spelling "scarecrow", "tin man", and "lion". lock each ball by hitting the ramp. lock 3 balls for multiball. couldn't be simpler.
Rescue Multiball: hit the two monkey targets to light the winged monkey. send the ball to the winged monkey, who locks the ball in the castle (thus capturing Dorothy). go to the castle, spell rescue, bash the door down, and enter the castle. viola. Rescue Multiball.
to be sure, if you are trying to win a tournament, there are all kinds of nuances in terms of stacking modes and stuff if you really want to get super huge scores, but anyone can walk up and pretty much figure out those 2 multiball modes.
