Wanted your thoughts on whether is worth the added 1600 to buy a premium. Pro plays great and has outstanding code. Would love to here from people that have owned or played both. I had a Mople and went to a pro and was completely satisfied

lmk. Thx

Questions to all premium owners:

Can you get the BG ramp smooth with no air balls with tweeting?

Also has anyone put a pro translite in a premium ?

Ok..... Here's where I'm at. With sterns new pricing at 5k and 6.7k
Things I add to every pro just to make the way I want equal to premium

Pro
Apron 60
Lockdown 60
Latch 45
Support rails 60 plus 20 shipping for above

LEDs minimum 150
Fish tank if I could find 150

Total 540
So bare minimum the I would have into a pro would be 5540

For an extra 1160 would get

Crossbow
Spinners
Color changing GI
Walker magnet
Lift ramp
Bash toy walker
Extra code
Extra drop target
Walker bombs and fire button
Able to get fishtank 100%

Doesn't sound as bad that way. Would buy a pro translite for it though

Very hard desision

Great price but a little too far

After a day and researching and watching videos here is where I am at. I watched a lot of video and watched how much certain features interacted with the game play.

As far as looks to me hands down the pro wins...... Except for the LE. ( premium translite looks ASS )
BG ramp I prefer on the pro.... was thinking of mounting a head underneath and lighting when active for effect
WW guts... No big deal I can order for the pro
WW magnet.... After watching lots of video it does not interact that much. Also previous premium owner posts, many are disabling. WTF
Love the spinners and woodbury target.
Crossbow does not get used often. Looks cool but does not get utilized that well. ( Kinda lame in gameplay )
Walker bombs are great feature.
Fishtank.... ( Love It ) Found a Lazeriffic one.
Both have plastic aprons but I can replace the pro with metal. ( cannot do with premium )
Love the original style lockdown, latch and work rails on the premium .... can add to pro for 150 dollars.
Color changing GI is fair at best ( way too much red )... Not like Met premium or AcDc Premium.
Color changing inserts I like.
Both need a shaker.
No colored powder coating on either.
Both have a full drop target bank.

After much debate I am leaning towards a PRO.... I look at all options against price difference. Too many premium owners are saying just disable the feature if you dont.... Isnt that the whole point of buying a premium.

Had a MOPLe and and after a few years went with a PRO as the hammer was 50/60% at best. ( Loved The GI but I can get now )
Played a PRO and bought a ACDC LTBR.
Have a Tron PRO with ELIs proto ramp kit and a ton of mods.
Played a ST Premium and PRO... Bought a PRO but would definately love an LE
TWD...... Leaning towards a PRO but still unsure.

AND MY FINAL DECSION IS............ After debating on this all night I decided on the premium . Here's my logic.... If I add all the metal aprons latch lockdown fishtank and some premium LEDs it will cost me 450/500 bucks to the top is the pro. Most of those things don't add any value at the end of the day.

So to get the walker bombs, color changers , bash toy , ramp , crossbow , magnets,spinners and extra target the difference is only about 1200 bucks. If that's gonna make or break me I better get out of pinball

Gonna order a Pro translite. Anyone have one
