    Quoted from yellowghost:

    I reckon a majority of the peoples have never tried a machine with a hard-top. If it plays the same as original

    This. I've played a handful of machines that have been hardtopped, and I own one-- they are IMO better than an original playfield. Plays faster, with no ball marks, and ridiculously easy to clean.

    Quoted from too-many-pins:

    I think like everything else in life some people will love them and others hate them. I have zero experience

    Truthfully, I think most of the hate comes from people who have never tried one. I was at a tournament last year where everyone was raving about how this one particular machine played. The owner mentioned that he had recently installed a hard top. a couple of people immediately changed their tune to "oh, I don't like those". BS... when you didn't know the game had one, you thought it was the best example you had ever played.
