I would love to have a CC or a CC Remake over an MM or an MM remake and here's why:
As pricey as MM became, you could still find them for play in the Detroit area. Heck, I can think of 4 places off the top of my head (including a corner bar) that have an MM right now! That is not the case with CC. The first time that I ever played one was at John Dayhuff's party. I fell in love with it. The game has a ton of charm and the western theme is awesome!
I'm really big on owning machines that are "new" to me. I've never owned and MM (way out of the price range), but there are plenty of games that I'd rather have given that I've played MM lots and lots of times. I could certainly see myself with an HUO CC Remake somewhere down the road.
