I have owned all 3 (currently own 2 of them) and it's an easy decision as to what is 3rd. IJ has fantastic theme integration, music/sound, and pretty good art, but it is a slow playing game with some questionable design and is a game I'd never own again. IM and SM are polar opposites as far as rule depth and ball times go, but they're both awesome. All games get old eventually, but these two have lasted a long time in my collection. I've had SM for about 9 years and IM about 6 years. That's saying something about their longevity.
