Quoted from ryanwanger:I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I prefer the Pro in every case (though I'm not sure I've ever played a Tron LE).
Quoted from PinMonk:We had both. The Prem/LE Metallica was better.
Iron Maiden could go either way because they play SO DIFFERENTLY due to the captive ball change on the Prem/LE.
Ghostbusters is a WAY better experience on the Prem/LE.
Walking Dead is clearly better on the Pro.
Deadpool is much better on the Prem/LE.
KISS is better on the Prem/LE.
WWE is better in the Stern warehouse corner being robbed for parts.
I have heard by many that the MET pro was better. It is interesting to hear varying opinions from 2 people I have a lot of respect for. Thank you.
Curious, but why do you think TWD pro is better? I've never played any other version (I don't think), so I don't really know.
Quoted from PrinzFred:games like Munsters, Ac/Dc, GOt, black Knight, seems empty without additional Playfield
I have to agree. Of course, it seems a lot of people dont like the mini pf on ac/dc...
Quoted from oldskool1969:BKSOR - Pro
Star Wars - LE
What about the Gilligan's island LE?
Quoted from oldskool1969:I wish
Whatever happened with that really nice restored one? Did you get it?
Quoted from John_I:Amazing to me how many people in this thread are wrong! .
Enlighten us.
Quoted from o-din:Shouldn't be too hard to pick up a copy of both on the secondary market at a reasonable price.
You must think I have money or something.
Im more of a "low pin man"
Quoted from o-din:Me too! A high end game for me now is a No Fear. I'm a going to go get one! Pro model, premium, or LE, I don't care as long as it's not super faded.
Don't let my pin collection fool you...I had to scour fir deals, buy, fix, sell, and trade my way up to what i currently have.
Quoted from rai:Stern should make a run of TWD pro+ meaning a pro with spinners and walker bomb.
Im curious. If enough people messaged/wrote in to them...would it be enough for them to do it? I guess it is worth a shot.
Quoted from rai:Looking at the premium on JP almost $2000 for moving Dino and Raptor pit just seems like a lot of cheddar.
It’s almost like a regular movie vs the 3D movie ticket price that you get the same movie or from both but the 3D is just a bit extra bling. Not sure how much do I wan the moving Dino.
If there were ever a reason to go for the premium/LE, the moving dino would be it...but therein lies the problem...the $2,000 extra. That is some serious money to add on. Or maybe im just cheap. I don't know anymore.
Quoted from rai:I love bling and I think extra toys are dope but if a game like Met or TWD gives me 95% of the gameplay for 75% of the cost that’s the kind of math I like.
I don’t have any cheap pins anymore but I started out buying T2 and BoP when they cost $1800 or less. Now I’m asked to pay $1800 for a moving Dino head or a hammer ball lock. (I know there’s more to it than that there’s the GI lights and spinners and so on, but the general idea is $1800 can almost buy a full other game and LE an extra $3500 I can buy something like WPT for example).
Quoted from Tuna_Delight:Whatever you're happy with man. Some people actually prefer light beer too.
I like the thought if buying a cheaper game and adding 3rd party mods...it just seems that cannot be done with certain pins (e.g. the dino head in JP or the bottom PF in munsters)
Im sure whomever creates a moving dino head mod for JP would make a killing

Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:I missed out on a nib jjp potc le, but I was able to get a se, and I have been happy, at least the game play is the same.
I am glad AP only makes one version and makes it very well, been loving okt for a while now.
What are the differences between the SE and the LE?
Quoted from porkcarrot:For me, it is that I really enjoy simple solid state games where it is about quick reactions and making shots or being screwed. With some premiums the toys and upper play fields just detract from that. The examples have been stated many times already, but for me the Iceman ramp on X-Men is awful and should be disabled and the night crawler props just block shots; the upper play field on GOT just slows things down and feels tacked on; I don't like mini-playfields because the physics is wrong and feels gimmicky so I prefer the Munsters pro. I haven't played the premium version of all games so I can't generalize, but those are specifics of things where I think the premiums are worse.
I need to go play xmen again. I don't remember the ice ramp being such an issue, but you are about the 11th person that has mentioned it.

I am curious about how some of the newer games perform (via different levels). I feel that premiums are usually the sweet spot, though.
I have seen a lot of JP pros coming up lately. People are clearly dumping them for premiums.
I recently had a Star Wars pro come up. Is it worth it, or just that much better for the premium?
Metallica pro vs premium?
TWD?
