I’ve played the remakes a gazillion times. No doubt they feel like butter.
But man... in 20 years when all that surface mounted stuff starts to go bad, what’s the repair process going to be like?
The originals have decades of parts and repair experience under their belts. Plus the incandescent lamps just feel better (but that’s completely subjective).
I’d take my original any day and would never even think to trade it for a reproduction.
