Leaning Pro , $3000 more in dollars does not seem to justify the extra features ?

LE all the way, Man I hate the added features not justifying the extra money comments. They do for me as I don't look at pinball in the investment way, but rather having fun and wanting the best example possible. If you can't afford the LE then hey that's cool but if you can then why would a person opt for the pro? If you have money to buy a new car would you go with the lesser model to save money or r u taking fully loaded, depends on your passion for cars, I'm not a car guy so I would go for some extras but not a lot, it isn't important to me but I am a pinball freak and this freak needs the LE's.
Don't torture me ! I want the LE but my "collecting for 10 years" brain is thinking that the extra stuff = one entire pinball machine . I am on the precipice of ordering the LE. Tell me why in more detail than ambiguous mush mash . Or mush mash. Or mush mash . I need help here, I am weak !
No you are strong my friend, I'm the weak one. I will say this is a special theme for me, old bands and superhero's seem to be the norm from Stern so when something like this comes up I say buy an LE. Zombie's and blood and guts, won't happen again for many years, buy it.
I love Zombies , Night of the Living a Dead is one of the greatest movies of all time in my book. And Zombieland , how good is that? Have not seen TWD yet , but will give it a try. Zombies rule ! Worst case if I order the LE is I just sell it and buy twenty Raven pinball machines in its place.
Quoted from PinHeadz:I ordered the LE.... This was the one title I told myself if it was made I would be all in for!
You have 3 LE/premium machines, this is the "one"??
Quoted from beefzap:Bottom line if you round, the difference is $3000 regardless of what individual dealers are charging.
You can't overthink the upcharge. You either want the extra features or you don't. If you don't care about them, get the Pro. If you want the extra toys, drop, spinner, color changing effects, cab art, backglass, trim, etc - get the LE.

If I play it and like it, Ill just buy an LE one day when the next big thing is coming out and everybody is dumping their old games to pay for it.

Quoted from geekmiki:Pro, because an LE costs $10.500 in Norway.
You guys get it cheap! It's like 11k + in Denmark! :<

Pricing I've gotten seems to be closer to $2500...definitely below 3k
Quoted from beefzap:Bottom line if you round, the difference is $3000 regardless of what individual dealers are charging.
Quoted from Hazoff:2500 hundred dollar difference in Canada.
Really? Crazy, I didn't check the price of a pro.
Well even the set price was 6000 for pro and 8500 for LE now tax and the fact that you should be able to get your distributor to throw in a shaker if you buy an LE do the math. Pro 6000 tax for us 6750 plus shaker 7000 my LE with tax and shaker came to 9300.
I'm not trying to justify anything, this for me is a theme that won't come around very often at all (Horror, blood, dead people) and I would have paid more if necessary but this is fair in my books for the extras I receive. Can't wait
bought my ST pro last year nib for about $1200 less, this is just crazy. $6750 for a pro, they are fu*kin'nuts!
but than again starburst can do what ever they want, they are the only one.
The main feature on the LE that I am interested in is the Tri-color LED's. I love the way they set the atmosphere on my X-men LE, a great feature. I can imagine with the Zombie theme the LED color schemes will be amazing. That said, I am having a hard time justifying the upcharge for the main LE feature that interests me.
So who is inventive enough to design a mod for a pro where we can add the Tri-color LED's ?
Quoted from underlord:I think the gang knows which I'm gettin'.
I'd get two if space allowed!!
the version that comes without legs? The Sub-Pro? 
most likely pro, but I want to play it first. I want to make sure they will not have a bunch of issues like with some past titles. I was way more excited about Metallica only to be pissed off by an 8 month wait for decent code due to LE hammer issues. Live and learn folks, I am not a big fan of the well walker that is basically wolverine reinstated. This game has some potential but i'm not crazy about it yet!
Don't have the cash for the LE right now.... and I heard from at least one distributor that they expect to have Pro's in stock for close to a year. Say.... 6 or 7 months from now, either I'll get LE from somebody who's sick of waiting for code updates or I'll pick up a Pro. I expect by then I'll know if a Premium is on the horizon. That would be my preference.
