    Quoted from swampfire:

    No, he’s right. The projector just moves the video from the LCD to the screen in the middle of the playfield. Yeah, the letters on the drop targets are cool, but if you like that RFM is 10x better for video targets. And the Pro is great because you can make the GI as bright as you want without worrying about the projector.

    The videos are/can be different depending on what's going on.

    Quoted from swampfire:

    From what I’ve seen, the video and picture content is the same. But you do get more in-game info with the projector.

    On the prem/le the LCD and projector are almost always displaying different content. Or do you mean the pro LCD displays the projector content?

    Grabbed a couple pics.

    Quoted from Waxx:

    The pro appears to display the main content. Both versions are cool and I like the projector but really dislike the TK lock and not being able to backhand the left ramp.

    Love the TK lock but agree on the back hand. That said, it's makeable on mine, but you have to be dead on and even then it barely makes it. What it then encourages you to do though is to try to start a mode before lighting lock as you can still easily back hand in that game state.
