Seriously. Every time even a playfield is released for older games people complain. A color is wrong or a line is not in the same place.

I think the same thing that almost always happens will. The people spending the $8K will defend it forever (or until sold). The people who can't justify the expense will say they have always hated it anyway and make fun of every problem that pops up.

The only happy people will be the ones who actually play pinball since now more will be available to play. There just seems to be less of them these days.

Quoted from BC_Gambit:

I imagine the top concern will be overall reliability.
The old ones have some well documented issues (e.g. GI connectors burning etc, heat being generated by some board components) BUT how reliable is the new OS and boards... especially under the playfield?
It looked like the driver board is attached to the bottom of the playfield? That is madness on the surface (though I understand it would cut down on wiring) but the obvious concerns are vibration damage and magic black pinball dust wrecking the electronics.
Are there ways to prevent this? Sure! Will whatever they have up their sleeve work? I guess we'll find out...

I hope the length of the wire is not a reason for mounting under. I just hope it moves out of the way easy for repairs.

Quoted from SDTM:

Ding ding ding. Wire harness is a lot of work and cost. Look at all the connectors, crimping, and soldering etc that is needed for wire harnesses.

You will need the same amount of connectors and soldering it the board in under the playfield, in the head or in the next room, The only difference would be the length of the wire.

Quoted from vid1900:

I don't like the stereo sound and I can see dimples on my playfield

I don't think anyone would hate stereo sound, if is was in stereo. Don't see why it would be.

Dimpling I can see a bit, but if you swapped for a new one these days you risk the same issue. But with a new game it is the first time for a color. When doing a repro you are trying to match, much more difficult.

Also the Williams logo. Are people going to be swapping any item with a logo to be "more" original?
