Quoted from tonedef131:

Spots are better than drops on this game, hitting that long rubber once they are down is a nightmare
- Disco ball is a non-interactive toy so who cares, ditto for the Happy Meal toys
- Loop ramp is cool but not worth the added cost and makes disco multiball a rarity

My thoughts on Deadpool:

- Not sure about spots being better. Haven't played a Pro though. I love drop targets in general, so I am biased. Would it be worth upgrading from Pro to Premium if that is all the difference? No.
- Disco ball is pretty cool, nice little lightshow in Disco modes, but I agree, not a large enough feature to justify Pro to Premium if going on that alone.
- No real difference in light show, which is unusual from Stern Pro to Premium/LE, so not a reason to upgrade.
- Loop ramp is more than cool imo, it changes the game flow significantly. Disco multiball will still happen, and you get a disco loops mode that the Pro doesn't have. You can easily get Disco multiball every game if you want, just focus on that left orbit and keep looping it. The spinner rip over and over is very satisfying. Now that I have it, I can't see myself enjoying Deadpool without it.

So, for me, loop ramp is the deciding factor, the drops and disco ball is just gravy. Everyone is going to have their own opinion, but I would strongly advise anyone looking at Deadpool to try both the Pro and Premium/LE before deciding. Hitting that left orbit ripping the spinner three or four times in a row is a lot of fun.
