Talk to jarjarisgod. He has both.

lmao. man you're worse than i am about making a decision about lunch. if i can offer any advice, tron le isn't as big a difference from the pro as everyone makes it out to be. all you lose is the daft punk MB and the ramps. then again these ramps on tron break, don't think i'd like to replace a LED covered one for 500$ probably.

i like tron better but i've played it more. I suspect it would be a draw for me after more plays on SM. Both are excellent choices.

My Tron LE & Spiderman are hands down my two favorite games of the 100+ I've had.

They are both great games. SM is probably better for new players, where Tron can kick even the best players behinds.

I actually think they complement each other well.

But based on what you already own....go for Tron. The music is pretty bad ass.

Most everything you said has you leaning towards Tron so might as well go with that title. Ive had both and chose SM over Tron LE cause I am not one thats of the opinion that SM & AFM play the same.

But you said the style of play in Tron seems to grab you most so i'd go that way if I were you.

Get rid of T2, tell your distributor to keep ACDC:LE, and buy both SM and Tron:LE! J/K (Kind of...)

I own both machines and have to agree with Smassa's take. You sound like you already have convinced yourself that Tron is the way to go. And if you go Tron you have to go LE. Accept no substitute!

For me it would be a difficult choice between the two. I love them both for different reasons. Tron:LE is one of the most beautiful machines ever made (other than the playfield art), has one of the best soundtracks (possible the best), and unrelenting gameplay. It is brutal at times, but so much fun when you manage to put together a good game. You really can't go wrong with this one.

However... SM is also awesome. It has a great lightshow, fun callouts, good soundtrack, and flow you normally can only dream about. I'm also a fan of the art package. It takes a less is more approach and makes it work. Oh, and Battle Royale rocks as far as pre-Wizard modes go (Haven't made it to Super Hero yet).

In the end a person really can't go wrong with either machine, but I think based on what you said you should go with Tron:LE. Good luck finding one at a decent price. They seem to be pretty hard to come by these days.

Buy what you like to play....should be that simple

I own both..... so ya, get both.

Playing JarJar's machines side-by-side (thanks again jarjar!) I preferred Tron LE. It was the first time I had a real good chance to give it a go, I've played SM a handful of times before. Both are good machines, but Tron LE is awesome.

I've owned both as well and prefer SM.

I really enjoy both machines as they are both in my top ten. That said, SM is my all time favorite machine with no really close second.

Yuup that is all that really matters right there well said.

agreed

I've owned both SM and BSM as well as Tron LE. They are both awesome games without a doubt. I sold both SM's and had a chance to get another one but chose to get a Tron instead. I will say that for me, I am happy that I bought the TLE. The gameplay is just as fast as SM if not faster and the lightshow is incredible. Once Lyman gets done with the final code it will be a masterpiece!

Also, don't believe it when people say that the LE ramps do not add anything to the game. Simply untrue. Imagine CV without the neon only x2 and better implementation with the sound, modes and music.

All that being said, with the line-up you have already Tron is a no brainer.

This is a close call, but I have to say SM on this one.

I guess It depends.. Tron Pro Vs SM= SM... Tron LE VS SM= Tron LE But that's going to be a pretty big price difference at this point I would guess 1,500-2k?

I'm Sad because I sold the last Tron LE before I installed 1.4 Software on it =(

+3 I want Tron, such a good game... plus it just looks so BA. SM was cool, should of played it more. Hope to get more time on it, I really don't think you could go wrong with either of these... in fact I agree with jarjar, get both!

and Yes thanks jarjar!

I think SM has a better chance to appreciate vs. tron based on how they are priced right now. That doesn't matter to me but it couldn't hurt.
