I'm a sucker for games with a quick horseshoe shot, and this is the first modern game in a while with one. I've only played the Pro, but that loop shot is so fun to hit.

I love the look of the Premium from what I have seen online, and the hyper loop looks awesome, but I would miss the rush of the loop shot if the pop-up ramp obscured it too much.

From someone who has played both, how much does that jump ramp interfere with the loop? Would I still get my horseshoe fix with the Premium? That's the only thing making me consider Pro over Premium.

How often is it up? I mean, there's ball-stop peg on the pro too that stops the ball to hold it there for mode start or something. I'm just curious if that loop shot is as big a part of the game and feels as fun to shoot on the Premium as it does on the Pro, or if the ramp + ball-stop are up enough to kill most of the vibe of the horseshoe on the Premium.

This is exactly what I am trying to confirm. That is the funnest shot in the game by far and I would hate to lose it going from Pro to Premium, especially if people are saying Hyper Loop and Deathstar are underwhelming.

This is a concern of mine when considering a Premium. Watching the Dead Flip stream, they seemed to brick that shot all the time. I'm already concerned the jump ramp will negate the fun of the horseshoe loop, but to compound it with a total brickfest shot would kill the best part of the game in my opinion.

Would be nice if a Premium would show up around Chicago to try.

Anyone know of a Premium / LE in the Chicago area? I've only played a Pro and want to compare against the other models.
