I have both, so thankfully do not have to choose between the two because that would be hard. Fortunately for you though they are pretty different. An aab drop target heavy game vs a replay stand up target/spinner game. Without looking at your collection, I'd say pick the one that most compliments (meaning: gives variety to) your collection. Both games give that to me as I am 'replay-drop target' heavy.

and lastly, as I'm sure you already know...condition, either before or after you buy is key.

Both my games have been shopped/rebuilt and are fast. I once played a Pro-Pool for sale at MGC. If that had been my first and only experience with ems, I wouldn't be in this hobby now. It looked good but was not 'good'. That said, GA is beautiful and a blast to play. GA is actually getting the most play of my 12 pins now...so..... Which way are you leaning?

Are those flippers set a little high? Hard to see, but the whole flow seems much better when my flipper center lines run parallel with both wire guides. Lower drops / flipper trajectory improves. Seems like a lot of owners vary this, but I believe I have it set up right.

Why was that recommended if I could ask?

Was this an official Gtb recommendation, or did they have one?

Campy art too, which may be my favorite pinball genre.

Quoted from boilerman:

I never have had the chance to play pro pool. it looks like a good layout for an AAB game and a good art package too

It's the easiest to 'beat' of my games (I set a goal to light the 100k) but it plays differently then the rest. It's probably the most 'deliberate' game I have. You are in control for much of the game, and it's almost like a plinking gun game where you are hitting most of your shots if you're good, but 'how long you can keep it up' is the goal. 14 drops you can hit with both flippers, with medium to long range shots. A real sharp shooters game. imo
