I've owned both and both are amazing. Go with the theme you like.
Tron pro is great, maybe the best Stern of all time. A lot of people dislike acdc as a theme, and a lot of people who do like acdc would far prefer the premium edition of acdc so resale might be limited to a small subgroup of people who like acdc theme. I believe everyone likes Tron as a theme.
Tron Pro will have more value than AC/DC Pro. There is no Tron Premium and not many people want to pay 10k+ for the LE... Tron Pro is the only other alternative, so even Tron Pro will go up in value as Tron demand holds steady or increases. On the other hand, AC/DC has a Premium with (probably) thousands produced at a reasonable price. Collectors who don't want to spend 10k+ on the LE will gravitate toward AC/DC Prem, and the Pro will mostly be seen as the "route" version. Once it's out of production, if AC/DC Pro rises in value, I believe it will be relative with the other versions...Prem and LE will also go up. When it's all said and done and both are out of production, I think it's a reasonable guess that AC/DC Pro will be ~$4500 or less while Tron Pro will be ~$6000 (+/- depending on mods)
Not sure when we'll ever find out production numbers for either machine but it's certain that there are less Trons than ACDC's. The fact that both are great machines would equalize their values but the availability is what tips the scale.
Tron Pro is a great pin with very few trade offs by not going for the LE. AC/DC Pro is still great, but there are massive trade offs by not going with the Premium/LE. Between the two, I'd take the Tron Pro. The conversation gets really tough if you are picking between Tron Pro and an AC/DC Premium, however.
Tron Pro is one of the best games in Pinball. Also one of the most modded games in Pinball; if you get one make sure you have some extra cash on hand for some very cool mods. You can spend $1,000 in mods on a Tron Pro in about an hour no sweat...
Quoted from centerflank:Im sure I dont need to tell ya'll which one Im voting for.
Lamp?
Another thing to think about...there are so many variations of Tron Pro that each one might have its own unique value. There are screen printed cabinets w/ 3D translite....decal cabinets with 2D Clu or Girls translite....orange DMD, red LED DMD...some have cycles, some have other vehicles.

Quoted from hassanchop:I had a decision like yours to make a few months ago. I went with Tron. Love it! And now i also want an AC/DC
That's the point right there... You'll end up with both anyway... Hehe
