Quoted from Pinzap:

If you had some type of magnetic stick on panels that basically looked like a traditional cabinet, then the swappable-look of the inserts that is my biggest issue would go away for the most part.

As Gerry said above, see the Multimorphic P3, this is exactly how it is designed.

Quoted from Pinzap:

I can maybe see your point on re-reading because I didn't offer an option that says there's no problem and these are the best pins ever made.

It's tricky to make a good poll and they can't be changed afterwards because people have already voted. I get why you set it up like you did, your answers are all geared towards whether or not Heighway's cabinets are a negative thing for potential buyers because that is the issue for you. However, as you acknowledged, there is not option for those people that think having a swappable playfield is a positive thing which would make them more likely to buy a Heighway game.
