Pros all the way around to be honest. Lots of people swear by TWD PREM but the pro does play smoother and I prefer it. So ya, go TWD pro - I find it more fun too, less cheap drains, smoother gameplay.

As for your poll. I'd go TWD/GOT (both pros).

My first instinct though was TWD/SW, but both games are a work out. GOT supplements the fun factor next to the TWD. As for Metallica, it really is a good fun game but can burn out quickly in a small lineup - it gets too repetitious and a bit of a grind. Love playing one game on it though when I have the chance, but that's all that's really needed on that game, one game and move on.

AS PRO would also be a good fit next to TWD instead of GOT as it fills that fun factor moment. I still find GOT better though for a small collection as it has fast gameplay with lots of different strategies and ways to tackle the game. GOT lacks in art + dmd of all the choices so something to consider if that matters to you.

Go 2 pros. Don't listen to owners protecting their purchase. Pro is the way to go with stern. Anything over $5500, go JJP or CGC.

While those aesthetics are real cool; if you out had no pins, would you get a METLE as your only pin or a MET PRO + other stern pro?

TWD PRO with either GOT PRO or SW PRO.

GOT vs SW: I think this comes down to theme.

- Both have interesting multiplier rules, I prefer GOTs multiplier rules over SW. SW multiplier is more of a work out comparatively speaking.

- GOT has a shady shady video mode that you never have to play and doesn’t impact play so really no big deal. SW has a video mode that from what I understand you have to play so get used to it.

- SW looks better and has the new display. GOT is ugly as F* and it’s dmd isn’t all that, though color dmd would vastly improve it if it ever gets done.

- GOT shoots better coupled with its multiplier rules is probably the best and fastest flowing game ever.

- GOT has better custom call outs.

- rules are similar in both but SW offers more and appears to be getting more code love than GOT has ever had or will ever have. GOT suffers with minor bugs and polish.
