So, Stern puts a little more into a premium than a pro and charges 2K more for it, but it's still less than what the best B/W games have. Most newer Sterns are fast and furious (and often fun), but as far as fun to shoot at features are concerned, they're lacking.

Many of them could stand a MIST Mutliball feature like BSD going across the sparse playfields, except replace the ball with tumbleweed.

I do as well. And as long as the used pinball market remains strong and you only lose about the same amount of money when you sell a premium that you do when you sell a pro, then it really doesn't matter (as long as you have the means to for the initial amount). But if/when that ever falters, I'll be permanently out of the premium/LE market. They cost way too much for me.
