It's like Coke v. Pepsi.... except that one brand went out of business a long time ago. I've personally decided to live in the present and future. I expect to end up with mostly Stern and maybe a JJP in the future. Pinball may still be old tech, but the 90's pins are looking more and more dated compared to the new games. Feel free to pay $10K+ for a Cactus Canyon, Monster Bash, etc. I don't think those games are any better than AC/DC, Tron, or even Avengers as recent examples. There are some great Williams games to be sure, but to dismiss Stern is silly... they are making good product and their prices are no more outrageous than the prices on "A" list collector quality Willilams games. At this point, I'd rather have something new if the price is comparable.
