I have an opportunity to get a very used player quality game and thinking of on location as well as home, these are all arcade used machines, narrowed my Choice to Whitewater, RBION, NGG, sopranos, they are all within a few hundred in cost, and I would get 2 but saving for a used MET pro if one ever pops up under nib price.

White Water is by far the best game on your list.

When WH2O was a $2500-$3k machine, it was a great bang for the buck. But now that they're creeping past pro models price point, I'd rather have an NIB stern pro.

Not sure if a player quality White water would be worth a new pro, but really like the leaders in the poll so far. WW looks so good with blue LED.

I am working on finding places to stash them so I can do a shop job, think I will be getting 2, since used MET pros are so high priced, maybe prices will drop a bit in time.

White Water, but I don't think it's the best bang for the buck. I agree with SKB, rather have one of the Stern pro's.

White water in player's grade still pulls 3500. Not exactly bang for buck anymore.
NGG has a shallow/boring ruleset.

I'd say RBION or Tommy.

I am definitely getting the Whitewater since everyone here thinks it is much more valuable than the others and am getting for close to the same price as the others, then if it gets old I will trade it to one of you with a newer pro....sounds like a good deal for me...

Where are you buying from where all these games are about the same? Some of those games are close to half what WH20 is worth. Hopefully you're not buying from some reseller who flat prices everything at $6499 or something

Yeah not even close WH20 is worth way more than those. Although NGG is always around 3.

Yes all prices similar WH2o is the best game. Condition also should be a consideration. But all thing equal I would take WH2O, then RBIN. Give the edge to the deeper code on RBIN over NGG, NGG is a damn fun game.
