It is exciting to see that Stern is finally progressing beyond simply a price point pre-occupation. As the competitors have added LCD screens and RGB LED lighting, Stern has (reluctantly) added some LED's to its games. And arguably, this new Stern modular system will be less costly and easier to fix. There is nothing like a little competition to move the ball forward. I am grateful that Stern kept the lights on during the dark years, but I am similarly grateful that JJP has created some angst in the system and motivated advances in the market place. Ultimately, this competition benefits us, the consumers.
