I’m surprised to see X-Men keep getting mentioned as better as a pro. The moving ice ramp isn’t great (Ive disabled mine) and night crawler was not utilized as well as it could be but the spinning disc is super awesome and the mirrored backglass (a true mirrored backglass, not this mirrored ink on a translight that Stern does now) is the nicest in Sterns history on either LE model.
Some games, such as Game of Thrones, play so different from model to model that the first version you play will be the one you say is better. Also, the way confirmation bias works people will always believe their $6,000 toy they bought was the best version.
