Quoted from sunnRAT:

There are things I do like about Elektra, but I can totally understand how that layout is unfavored compared to the other two.
Wanted to see if any long time Elektra owners wanted to chime in? Why is it a keeper for you?

I had mine for awhile, but it left just like many others. I didn't sell it because I didn't like it, it was just to rotate games out of a limited space. I thought the rules were pretty slick, but not really meant for the casual/newbie player, so I would often find myself trying to explain the rules to guests ("oh, these games have rules?") If you don't pay too much and put too much into it, give it a try. You can always sell an Elektra later, its not an extremely common game so someone is always looking for one of these classic Ballys.

I would only put Elektra at #2 because I prefer the artwork over Skateball, and I am somewhat biased being a former owner.
