    Which brand do people prefer? I've had Invisiglass in JJ games and Stern HD in Stern LE games, but now I hear Coin Taker has Voodoo?

    My opinion so far is that Stern and JJ versions are equally clear, but the Stern one stands up to cleaning better (no micro scratches). Never seen Voodoo.

    What's everyone's thoughts? Are there more manufacturers?

    There’s another manufacturer in your thread title, probably the best one too. My thought is spend your money on something else.

    I'd always heard them all called PDI for non reflective, didn't know it was its own company. Seems expensive to get from Europe though.

    Odd no one has done a brand comparison from it all.

    I have all but voodoo. They all preform well. Find the one with the best price!!

    I have all but voodoo. So far PDI is my favorite by a wide margin.

    I've had them all and this is how I would rank them.

    1.PDI glass hands down. Nothing comes close to PDI imo.
    2.Voodoo and invisiglass seems about the same so it's a toss up for me.
    3.Stern HD is last for sure.

    There are at least 3 threads on Pinside already comparing them.
    ALL of this is subjective - but basically the general feeling is that PDI (aka “Roman” glass) and Invisiglass are roughly the same performance, with Stern and Voodoo a slight step down. All seem to give a slightly different hue (Basically unnoticeable without optical equipment) to the playfields underneath

    I also have AP’s Magic Glass which I would put above the Stern/Voodoo glass, but it is comparably more expensive.
