Quoted from Hudson:

If you where going to spend $8K on a new machine, which would you choose and why?
The next two coming down the pipe are MMr and Hobbit. I believe both of these machines are still "scheduled" to start shipping sometime during or by the end of 2014.
(I don't want to entertain discussions about buying other or multiple pins for this amount, lets keep it on topic.)
I had played a friends WOZ about a month or so ago and was blown away by how nice the machine was. There was however the big elephant in the room issue which is it took forever to get the machine and there are no guarantees the same thing wont happen again with Hobbit (until proven otherwise).

Neither one...

In nearly 20 years of collecting, my pre-purchase of WoZ was the most disappointing thing to ever happen to me on a pinball deal.

I owned a Medieval Madness several years ago...it did not last but a few months in my collection. To me it is nothing but a so-so pin, not a great one by any means (I realize I am in the minority here).

For 8K you could land a White Water, BS Dracula, and a Shadow. Or if you want newer...get a deal on the many HUO AC/DC premiums out there and pocket the savings.
