Anyone tried a playfield protector for Paragon? What did you think?

I am almost forced to get one due to insert cupping everywhere.

I've heard the sound is weird at first because you can't hear the ball on the wood, but if it plays better I don't really care about that.

Quoted from hocuslocus:

all this early SS stuff is still relatively new to me.
one other thing that seemed odd to me was when the ball comes down on the flipper with any force and your holding the flipper up it has a tendency to push the flipper down and flip the ball back up after the magnet force re-engages with the plunger. as if the coil didn't have enough strength to keep the flipper in the hold position. Is this normal behavior for this style of game? all three main flippers do this so I'm thinking its normal maybe? I've played early SS's enough but don't remember this really being a thing.
I know the castle shot on game of thrones can do this to the right flipper (at least push it down). That's coming at it with a lot of force, and near the end of the flipper so I'd expect that to happen.

I can almost guarantee you that it's the coil stops.
