Do you have anywhere to try them out?

Tron would be my frist.....

I enjoy my ACDC pro more than any other pin I have owned or played. Its well ahead of X-men and MILES ahead of Avengers Pro.

That said...Metallica is quickly climbing the ranks in my book. With some work on the code it's potentially a phenomenal game.

That's because the Premium owners are the vocal majority, but not everyone thinks the Premium is worth the cost. Or even the better game. The Premium certainly has more features, but the Pro is pure speed and adrenaline. The perfect game to me would be to take the swinging bell and TNT drops from the Premium and put them on the Pro. The Premium's crossover and lower playfield are big negatives for me, and stand-up targets work a little better in the ACDC position (the ones you shoot with the cannon).

If you go ACDC, you NEED the Hemi bell mod. It's a significant improvement (almost eliminates SDTM's and the bell shot feels more satisfying) and a downright shame that Stern didn't have the vision to come up with it themselves.

seems like a odd question.. which one do YOU want to plop $4k down on? I personally wouldn't on any of these titles. but i get asking help to blow your wad.. so here is my feedback.

Xmen and Avengers IMO are crap stern titles. (its MY opinion)

ACDC and Metalica are stern learning they cant produce crap. Of those Metallica is music I like more (to hear 1000 times as I play pinball). also I think the "cookie cutter stern layout" is better on Metallica, I hate the location placement of the canon on ACDC.. also that ugly art on ACDC is ugly.

Metallica has some things that rock, in line drop targets. Snake Teeth Braces Mod.

(totally understandable, just paying troll here)

but anyone who owns that machine is going to say how awesome it is, because 1) they think it 2) they regret blowing a wad on it.

or you have people who played it and think it sucks..

so your stuck 50/50

in the end its your cash, so which one do you want to 1)think its awesome 2) stuck regretting.

just go look at what cacusian2step rated it - buy that ... thats what I do normally never go worng and if so.. always some new guy wanting to buy it off you

I totally get your point of justification for a pin.. just interjecting that at the root of it.. asking how to spend a lot of cash to people all as crazy as you for buying things that are pointless but cost a lot of cash .. you get it.. if your married you just need to convince one person it was the right purchase.. the wife.

also as mentioned .. you need to play them - to buy a new stern blind is IMO insane. sure old williams games the rating system on IPDB and Here will line up and "get you a good pin" I think any pin is good - new sterns are hit and miss however IMO, more so then "old games"

Get an X-Men Pro. I am planning to. The rules are very deep.

TRON...

Or Metallica...

ACDC pro all the way! Super fast game, challenging as heck and non stop playability. Metallica second but wait till the code gets more finished. Good luck.

1.) Tron
2.) AC/DC
3.) Metallica

This is from somebody that doesn't own any of them but has played them all.

TRON

I have four (nib) Pros. ACDC, Xmen, Tron & Metallica. I like all of them. The ones I have been playing the most are Metallica and Xmen. IMO Xmen is very underrated. Tron is the only machine that has never (so far) given me any trouble. I mean that pin is solid. I sold my Avengers Pro to help pay for the Metallica Pro. That decision paid off. Any of the above four should give you a lot of enjoyment.
