My ghosting inserts are a little worse than yours and I'm thinking of letting it go. My distributor is aware, I sent him pics months ago. It hasn't seemed to get much worse since then. It seems like it's stopped spreading. I will monitor it, but I probably won't make a claim if it doesn't get worse. But, at the first sign of any cracking above an insert, I will definitely make a call. I figure since they are still selling them, I have a few months at least before it's too late.

In the George Gomez interview with Pinball Magazine he says they found the cause of the ghosting, but didn't say what it was. Anyone know?

SMVE is an awesome package. Love the dots and call outs. The build quality is good minus the ghosting. But that didn't show up for a few months, so it's not like it left the factory that way. The custom message option doesn't seem to work on mine though. It pops up sometimes, but not every time through the dmd attract rotation.
