Ordered mine today through Game Room Guys. Bought a GBLE from them last year. Found interesting that SWLE did not come with a shaker motor as standard.

LOL, I guess I'm the only sucker!

That all makes sense. I just like having the LE's just for the fact they are LE I suppose While I like GBLE I am going to have to say that STLE is probably my favorite machine. The flashing side rails interactive Vengance ship, and high speed kickback are neat features. I also like the backglass and the Cointaker Mod for backlighting. I also like the ST and SW themes just because I liked both movies / shows.

It is funny to read Pinside comments. At every new Stern release I can count on hearing the following:

1. The artwork is better on the Pro.
2. The artwork is better on the Premium.
3. Why can't the pro have the same features as the LE?
4. The code is horrible.
5. They ruined a great theme with bad layout.
6. The playfield has dimples and ghosting.
7. Why no magnets?
8. Why magnets - they are stupid?!
9. Stern keeps cheapening up the machine, they charge too much, and nobody has them in stock!
10. Gary Stern is one of the 1%

I agree on waiting unless you want an LE. I only buy LE's and want them new, so waiting is not an option, but I would definitely wait on a premium before buying to see what the problems/benefits are later.
