Do not listen to the one beats the crap out of the other stuff. These two pins left my collection long after AFM or MM or AF etc. If you can make a deal then buy both, if you don't have a chance to play them first then its tough because they are close in quality and fun factor. JM wins for me only in depth, much more to do but The Shadow is better in terms of sound's and quick fun. Boy I'm glad I don't have to decide. Good Luck
