what would your third machine be?

Not sure how you can get something completely different yet be the best fit. Try a game known to be fast and flowy. Go to some of the places on the Pinside map near you and play as many pins as you can. Maybe something will tickle your fancy.

There's an RS available in FL (on the village) for less than $2K. RS would be different and yet still fit.

Switch it up a bit get a speed or flow pin like JM, SM, or maybe even a LOTR. Whirlwind would also be a great change up.

I guess "best fit" would mean a Game of similiar caliber, but the "fast and flowing" is what I was thinking about...Spiderman Black?

SM is good, as well as AC/DC. But if you're considering SM black, you better be ready to shell out a few grand extra for the black edition. And unless that's what you really want, I don't see the reason too.

I would probably go with either beam stokers dracula or if you want newer acdc, they are both really fast and awesome games. I have bsd and would like to add acdc but would have to give something up to do it.

Get you some Steve Ritchie goodness to compliment the Lawlor. Spider-Man or ACDC are new and have a different feel from BW games, but are really fun.

My TZ sits next to my STTNG but it was made from the same era. If you want to go for something really different go more modern.

Isn't SM Black the same game but with stupid black strokes around the backglass objects that took someone 12 seconds to enable in Photoshop?

Seriously. It's Layer Effects -> Add Stroke. Back then the default was red, so probably took a few seconds to click Black. But then you can copy paste for all layers.

STTNG rocks IMHO. If you like the theme at all you will absolutely LOVE the pin......and even if you don't love the theme it's still a great playing pin and it would play very differently than TAF or TZ.

I would certainly say it's "of the same caliber".

SM but both are very fun pins so its a win either way you go. SM would be the biggest change of pace of the two from your other pins IMO. Play any game you are looking to add if at all possible just because many of the 3 to 4 hundred pinheads on Pinside like it does not mean you will.

It really depends on your budget on what you can get but there are many great pins in the 1500-3000 range but if money is not an issue based on your other 2 pins being more expensive ones, then get an MM or a new AC/DC. I played one game of AC/DC and its impressive.
