Forgive me if it's already been mentioned in this already long thread, but my little $0.02 observation/concern is regarding how much space in the pro is "wasted" with the upper playfield not being there. Maybe they'll address with the code, but it seems like there is a lot of space being used up for what simply amounts to the rollover lanes and the pop bumpers. It takes up roughly a quarter to a third of the playfield space (circled in blue)! Look how much is covered by just plastics in that area (circled in green). With or without the upper playfield this seems like a waste of space. If this was an older EM or SS I wouldn't care as much, but with modern designs, much more is capable of being put into the layouts. Look at Iron Maiden for comparison.

I still feel that there is a lot of wasted space on this playfield due to trying to accommodate the upper playfield. Now seeing live what I suspected from the pics (that there's not a lot to do in the upper playfield); it makes the waste of space underneath it even worse, especially on the pro.

All that space inside the yellow (minus the ramp) is used for three rollover lanes and three pop bumpers. How often are those being shot for intentionally, how many points are they worth, and what do they add to the gameplay/strategy? Not a whole lot from my assessment. All the areas in green are covered in plastics because that's where the upper playfield is integrated in the premium/LE models. It severely cuts down on the possible number of shots, targets, and mechs/toys that could've been integrated.
