Premium without a doubt on this model. Spinners, light show/RGB inserts/Fish tank, extra magnet, drop target on wood shot, crossbow (although not a deal breaker), lifting ramp with bash toy...and walker bombs. I'm not always a proponent of the Premium, but in this case...the two are different enough to make it work the extra coin.
If you a big fan of game aesthetic factors (lighting paired with sound FX) that draw you into the experience, no question, premium is the way to go.
Why not just buy this?

You could buy it and pick it up in a (long) day trip.
Quoted from bigdaddy07:I have zero airballs on mine. However the ramp is steep and that does create some rejects that can be frustrating at times. Mostly it's a non issue. To me the premium is worth it for the lighting and the walker bombs. I could honestly take or leave the rest.
Have the occasional reject, too...and while frustrating when it happens, I never feel like the rejected shot was all that solid of a shot to begin with (if you know what I mean). Good shots seems to hit the ramp just fine.
Quoted from rai:Also, I bought a Met pro (simpler machine) and I have zero regrets. Ok it's missing spinners but other than that I'm not too concerned cross, the snake jaw or the hammer. I'm sure they are ok, but I think the Met pro is perfectly acceptable and might actually be better for being less moving pieces (friend bought a nib met premium and has no ends of problems with the hammer/ball lock).
I just think (IMO) the moving BG ramp is good and bad (depending on how you like it) and I don't want to pay extra if it's going to be something I have to live with rather than something I like/prefer.
IMO it gives diversity to that shot / ball movement (up vs down...bash vs ramp).
Quoted from musketd:Great decision TWD is a killer title and either way you can't go wrong
I agree with this... great pinball is great pinball.
