Too many choices but a nice predicament to be in.I may be in on one of these if they can be had for low $6k area.

I voted MOPLE but, the Premium 2 is right behind it. All things equal cash wise, MOPLE, for the money Premium 2.

Premium 1 with Premium 2 translite, and add the side armor rails. The Premium 2 cabinet is ridiculous crazy busy looking. I don't like all the crosses on the cabinet of MOPLE.
WAY too many CROSSES on the LE for my taste.
Cabinet Body Side Art (3) Repeated...
Head Side Art (3) in different Shades.
Back Glass (6) ?
Playfield Toy (1)
Playfield Drop targets (3)
Inserts (5)
WHOA!!!
21+ Crosses
That's why I favor the new Premium. Plus, the new premium translight has lots of characters.
Quoted from Eryeal:If you ordered the machine, chances are you are voting for the one you ordered.
Haha! This is the truest statement ever! Good post.

Have you ever seen Arlington National Cemetery? Too many crosses for you there, also? Because that's what it is.

No. It's a pinball game.
Premium 1 with Premium 2 translite is what does it for me. Too much cartoon action any other way for me. The pro looks too much like graffiti on a downtown wall for me. Of course the LE looks Great too, but that can't be had any longer.
I'm suspect a HUO Pro Metallica will make its way into my basement when Star Trek comes out this year.
I think the Pro cabinet & translite are fantastic, better than the LE or initial premium. I do like the 2nd version Premium the most however due to the loaded PF.
Dirty Donny hands down.The Artwork Rules !Only the MOPLE guys are voting for the LE trying to pimp the value up of their machine.

This couldn't be any farther from the truth.
It's the Master of Puppets graveyard-does it get any more Metallica then that? And you've still got Donny's translite.
No need to "Pimp" it's value when I'm never selling it...

Amen brotha!
Quoted from mnpinball:Personally for me.
MOPLE 1st, Roadcase with Donny translite 2nd.
Same. I like the road case. Feels more rock with the cool Donny tranny

How can you say you are never selling it when you've never played it or even seen video of it or even know anything about the rules? LOL! Never? Shyeah...ok.
Close call between MOP and Premium Roadcase w/ Dirty Donnie translite. I would have to see them in person to see which looks better. MOP has an advantage because it's a backglass vs. translite but the Roadcase cabinet really brings back memories of listening to the "Live Shit" boxset when I was a teen and screams vintage Metallica to me. I think I like the artwork on the Dirty Donnie translite better than MOP too. If it were a backglass instead of translite that version would be the clear winner to me.
Anybody know if it's possible to get the Premium Roadcase w/ Dirty Donnie translite? If you ask me they should put that translite with both cabinet versions since the Premium 1 translite is crap!
MOP LE is the standout IMO- no Skittles, just plain METAL combined with sweet Dirty Donny artwork. I really wish I didn't feel this way, but I do, cause the LE is too much money now.
2nd premium is my second choice.

LOL, good point right there.
I actually think this entire LE fiasco is going to cost Stern some sells. My enthusiasm has been waxing and waning on this title. This time last week I was in a mad rush to snag an LE and couldn't find one. Then I decided, ah well, I'll just save myself some money and the new premium with the better art. Now, the more I think about it, I think I'm just going to sit this game out entirely.
With how indecisive I've been a reserve the right to change my mind again next week. LOL
I just think it's great to have so many options for a Premium model. Never made sense to me making two LEs one of which usually has much less appeal than the other. LE buyers still get their chance at a limited model and Premium buyers that pay a pretty penny as well get options. I like the Premium 2 with pro cab art but think the other option looks pretty good as well. Definitely different that's for sure but that way people with different tastes can get what they want pretty cool IMO.

Yes-the point I was making was that I'm not looking to "flip it" for a quick buck. 1st game ever buying w-out playing it, so I'm blocking the thought that it might suck out of my mind...
I like the look of chrome on LE but the pro is really growing on me. I think the cabinet and backglass on the pro are the best. I am not a big fan of theme but once I saw artist rendition-I was impressed?

I'll never sell mine even though I've never played it,or even seen game play video. There,I said it,& its the truth.
I am really torn, I have a LE on order via the metclub(not cheap) and really would be happy with the Dirty Donny version its pretty killer 
The LE is super nice though. I have a friend who will gladly take the LE off my hands if I want to "Downgrade".
Also, I assume the cabinet art on the LE is still done by Dirty Donny no?

I don't know how much you paid over pre-order price but, unless is was a bunch, I would keep with the LE. Unless the game turns out to be a complete letdown, you can trade down anytime with no loss no worries. If you paid 8-9k and someone is going to give you that much back, then trade it down now.
METLE,i love the Master of Puppets album reminds me of my youth and the Metal LoOk is insane.
