    I searched through the threads and couldn't find a discussion based on the two heaviest hitters of the modern era. Both are innovators that introduced pinball ideas that instantly became standards. Ritchie has a longer career and could probably be considered to have had greater influence over the years, but Lawlor seemingly has a mad scientist mentality and brings ideas to pinball that your average person just couldn't conceive of. They are kind of like the Edison and Tesla of pinball. I only own one game (T2) and can appreciate Ritchie's sense of flow and pacing, but Lawlors pins seem more fun to just explore. I was wondering what you guys think especially if you've owned pins by both at the same time and contrast directly. Side topic: Popadiuk vs Nordman
