Quoted from ray3127:Here a couple pics of my Super Chexx Pro now that the surrounding area is done. Ordered just before Christmas, and arrived a month later. Big thanks for this thread (especially taylor34) for the guidance.
As you can see, I went with the LED upgrade. I think it adds to the ambiance of the game, and would definitely recommend it. Since it's "free" through March it's a no brainer, but in the future I wouldn't hesitate to pay for the upgrade. I also built a riser box and have used it since day one. I am 6'1" and can't imagine playing without the extra height.
If you concerned about nobody wanting to play as the Russians with the MOI edition, don't be... I was worried about this, and frankly it doesn't matter. Once you start playing, it's game on. I DO think that the extra $ for a licensed setup (NHL or Team USA) IS worth it. Just my two cents.
Super Chexx is what brought me to Pinside, and now I own 2 pinball machines as well... So thanks, Pinside.

Thanks for the shout out. I made a riser platform too, have a video of here:
If anyone orders through the link on my website, I'll send them free cupholders too (along with my gratitude). 
I built the riser with 2x4's and some thinner trim pieces just moved up a little. Needs some holes filled but for something that cost about $30 to make it's not too bad. Takes quite a bit of time though due to the painting part which isn't fast. Trim pieces keep the table from escaping the riser.
I think the LED upgrade is probably worth it. Though some people have made their own for cheaper (but is it really worth the effort)?
