Yepp - true.
Maybe it was not 100% the right wording
Okay let me try to make it a bit clearer... First of all - Any rating is subjective, so way to get an academic, analytic way to get an one and only truth. We can discuss for the rest of our lifes, wat would be the appropriate solution. There is no one and only truth also for consolidating and what really can be consolidated. The pinside team came up already with a compromise - treating Premiums and LEs as one, even though this is not consistent regarding SM, TAF, Centaur, EBD,...
Putting the Stern Pros and Premiums/LEs together would not be fair, since there is sometimes a big difference. A difference which makes you invest 2k pls X more or the other way round less into a machine. With this amount another machine can be bought (or two), so it's potentially a huge difference
From my very personal point of view AC/DC, MET have to be Premium/LE or I wouldn't buy them. For X-Men, ST or Tron the difference is supersmall or I like the Pro version even better...
So why consolidating - only because of getting a machine you/me/she/he like/s some ranks up?
