I think SMVE is a great game. Owned both and prefer it over the original. Obviously both great, but SMVE has some pretty nice upgrades. Agree that a Color DMD is a must and get a piece of Stern HD glass too. Both great upgrades.
With that said my PF was really quite bad with ghosting out of the box. I took pictures sent them to Stern and was approved for a replacement playfield.
