In general I don't understand the value proposition of LE's in a pinball machine you're supposed to be playing, not polishing and fawning over. Premium vs pro- different story. But, the only way I'd own a ST, or "pay" for an LE version of any pin is if I could get my hands on an STLE at a decent price- it's an outstanding upgrade (lightshow) and worth it. Less than an LE on the ST and I'm over in the SW camp. For comparable "speed" games, SW gets my adrenaline pumping sooner and for longer than ST. I think premium is a must on the SW, as the playfield is so sparse to start with.
