I'd 100% go pro with this. The brick into the time machine just damages your pinball and the vuk is nice but honestly doesnt add anything to the gameplay but a feed back to the flipper and the mod community CAN make a 3d printed ramp piece that feeds to a custom wireform to take the ball from that standup graze the deadend target and send the ball right to the inside inlane no joke it can be made. The only other add on is the lock behind drops which is cool but a damn stand up there hit twice does the same thing locking the one ball then hitting it again does lol. Its an easy pro for me... add a metal apron on the side for a premium game I dont have connected on, cut the correct size hole for the QR reader from the pro to fit my old premium apron... use new premium apron for Rush and powdercoat it to match the rest of my hardware and my rush pro is an awesome machine!

This is an example of a 3d printed ramp that could be molded into the standup to start the ball toward an added 180⁰ ramp that can be custom made to send the ball back to the inner inlane, thus achieving the same outcome as the vuk just less the coil! And the target sensor would be made when the ball rolls up the 3d printed ramp entry thats resting against the standup target.

Have you ever signed 100 pieces of media before? Try 1000 and then send that same 1000 pieces to your band mate to sign.... it'd be a bitch! Im sure The designers at stern have weeks to just sign a few for each weeks production run at a time, not just all 1000 machines plastics at one sitting. Just a thought
