Narrowing down my next machine to add to the collection.

I think I'm down to GNR or a Ghostbusters Premium.

Never played the GNR but like the band and music. What is the better long term add to a collection?

Quoted from Capinball:

Is the GB premium in your "owned in the past" list just a mistake? I've got no time on GNR but enough time on GB to know that while it's fun at first but that fun feeling quickly goes away.

Mistake, bailed on an order at the last minute from all the issues they were having early on.

Quoted from Nexyss:

I have only played GB a couple of times, and couldn't get into it (really couldn't hear what was going on, so that is a big contributor).
I have owned GnR for a few years, and I still enjoy playing it, but don't play it often. I will play Metallica probably 10-1, or more. If I didn't like the music on GnR, I probably would play it less.
I think about selling GnR once in a while, but the only game I would rather have right now is MMr, and I don't want to pay the price difference between the two to upgrade.
I see that you have never owned a Metallica. Unless you hate the band, I think that would be a better choice than either that you listed. After 3 years of owning it, it is still by far my favorite pin.

Metallica machine is ok but not my favorite band so it kind of makes it hard to really get into it..don't think it would stay very long if I bought.

Quoted from HoakyPoaky:

As a general rule, you should always play a pin first before buying.
Reading reviews & watching videos are helpful, but actually playing is the only way to know for sure whether you're going to like it or not.
But having played both, my choice would be neither. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

I've played GB a good bit and do like it however some games a brutal.

GNR on the otherhand I haven't played and don't see these too often out in the wild. Doubt I will get to put much time on one.
