Holding my breath for Scared Stiff.

Quoted from nerdygrrl:

There are two camps, but I agree with this. My MBr PF looks like a minefield after less than 1500 plays and those dimples will turn into flaked paint and all of this digital printing you see elsewhere is exploding on contact after a few plays. Let's see what they look like after a year or two. It's why I stopped buying CPR pfs.

As I noted before, we all have different expectations, needs, wants out of a machine. My MBr was my first "new" machine. I haven't played a ton of the newer games and those I have (Stern), I have not liked because they feel cheap to me. There was a lot of hype surrounding CGC, so I went with them versus another original. I felt let down b/c the quality of the wood and metals is sub par.
I had no idea there was a 90 year old grandpa residing in this middle aged woman's body screaming bout the good o'l days where dimples were few and far and ink adhered to the playfields and to get off my lawn, but here we are. While I cling to times of pinball past I think this post nails it, we simply do not have the quality of raw goods they did then, and if Williams was still in business this is what they would be putting out.
Anyhoo, it actually change my point of view a good bit. I have no idea what CGC is going to put out next, but I do look forward to it. I know what to expect now and how to address the issues at hand (buy and clear a spare pf). BBBr and possible TOMr would be buys for me. It's clear they are taking their time to put out quality versus quantity.
