If its a question of 2 90's vs 1 new and the 90's are in a condition requiring no repairs then go with the 2. For the simple reason no one pin is enough. Even the best game as a standalone pin will leave you tired of it. Just my experience. Also couple older games at a lower price point may be easier to sell down the line at little to no loss.

Quoted from violinfather:

That is not so much the question. Two high demand 90's pin's here in Alberta will be more than the cost of a NIB. As you know around here you can spend $7000 on a decent 90's pin like TZ or MB or for $300-900 more buy a NIB Premium like AC/DC or ST. The only place to try out an assortment of pins is down in Red Deer however some of those pins look rough for the money. Any pins in Alberta that come up that are in decent shape and price are gone within 30 minutes of posting.

Didn't see cost noted in the OP. Cost of a player RBION and TZ and all in cost of a st premium - I'd still stick with the two game option. Particularly for his first games
