I traded two sterns for my smaug machine and do not regret it. Only had 36 plays on it, so you can guess the guy didnt enjoy the machine. I really like it. Its not the hardest machine to play, but its a beautifull looking machine. The multiballs are fun and the sounds are great. My wife hates the movies, but likes this machine alot. The price is crazy. If you can trade with a owner its easier to swallow.
