Quoted from BeaglePuss:

Full Throttle by a large margin would be my choice.

a large margin in cost savings too

Quoted from DylanFan71:

A standard Full Throttle is in the $6k area.

missed the LE part on FTh. Still, those are $7900 I thought--what's a Smaug $9000?

Already has been mentioned but with Heighway you can buy 1 full game and then buy every other release of theirs at 60% of cost and swap playfield/art all of it in 5 minutes...

That reason alone makes it the clear winner in my head. In 6 months or so you can buy Alien at 60% cost plus they have 3 or 4 other licenses from what I hear.

Note: The options at Heighway are really fluid--you don't necessarily need an LE. You can get a standard, add big LCD, add fiber optic ramps, shaker...choose your trim---black (no extra cost), chrome etc etc

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

Hmmm. Full Throttle LE is 5,750 in pounds, plus shipping. That is nearly $8300 in US. I just paid a few hundred less for a Hobbit LE.

see post #8 and others ... calm yourself. You vote Hobbit. Got it.

Maybe make a basement thread to drone on about how much you love or hate hobbit....it's been hashed and rehashed here.

It's $5950 USD base model, plus any upgrades, Shaker $130, Fiber Optic Ramps $450, 27" LCD Screen $550...$7080 for all the features of the LE minus a plaque I guess--I thought TH was $8000, no? Does TH have Fiber Optic ramps? I know it has a 27" LCD and a Shaker. And, of course, once you have a Heighway game you can buy all their future titles for 60% of complete game price and drop in playfield and Art in 5 minutes...imagine if you could swap a TH into a WoZ for 60% of that 8k...That'd be a deal eh?

Like seeing more choices beyond Stern either way it's a winner.
