Quoted from Pinball_Nate:

Oh why Stern do you even bother making "lesser" models? This practice of making a more affordable pin by removing playfield features simply sucks.
Just make one machine, one playfield, and offer colored legs, alternate cabinet if that is necessary.
Offering "lesser" machines is offensive, "Oh, you can't afford the "real" pinball but we'll take your money anyway and give you this lesser playing version............."

I disagree with this. Just pretend that Stern only makes a Premium and an LE and like magic, it's the same model as everyone else.

Why does the existence of a Pro bother you?

Quoted from Pinball_Nate:

Basically, who wants to lay down cash for a pinball that "should be this" but because you can't afford it, "here's this sub-standard substitute". ACDC is a prime example. Does anyone really want to play this game without the lower pf and have to stare at that butt-ugly illustration instead of a lower pf feature??
It just seems like an unnecessary and greedy strategy - you can't tell me it costs that much more/less to produce just one quality game - it may actually cost more to produce different "versions."

So you would be happy if they just eliminated the Pro all together and left the Premium and LE the way it is? Do you think they would drop the price of the Premium or LE if they did drop the Pro from the lineup? Doubtful.

Show me one positive from not having the Pro available as a choice.

What Stern is doing isn't something they made up. It's a valid sales strategy sometimes called "Good, Better, Best". You can google it and learn a lot. A different option is "chinese menu".

That's where we think the proton beams from the render were going to go.
