For me it is SM. LOTR is definitely a great pin but it quickly became a grind. The rules feel too linear after awhile. SM games can be long but even after a long game, I will hit the start button again. After a great game of LOTR, I just feel drained and it feels like a chore to have to work up to the point of destroying the ring again.

I've owned both. SM is staying. I'd still get a LOTR again, but not at the expense of SM.

When I think people are saying LOTR is clunky it's not the actual shots that are bad but the missed shots. Miss a shot and it sometimes feels like the ball hits a brick wall.
