I think I know what machines you are talking about, since I doubt there is another $3700 TS in our region. If they are the ones I'm thinking of I would def go with the BSD. It's one of the nicest Draculas I've seen and plays perfectly. The Shadow has been there a long time and he plays it a lot, and as you mentioned the wireforms look terrible. On top of that his Shadow is way overpriced and BSD is a better game at the end of the day.
