Quoted from markmon:

So I have had a Metallica LE in my house the last day. So at the moment I have both an LE and a pro. At this point, I actually prefer the pro. It's all due to the hammer vs the captive ball. The captive ball is just so fun to shoot. I can one shot hit captive ball bouncing into the snake, bouncing into sparky, or bouncing into the left ramp. On the LE, the plate sends the ball back. You can sometimes bounce into snake but its not the same. The sparky shot is a lot easier on the pro from the right flipper partly due to better visibility and partly to the captive ball being more narrow than the metal plate. After spending hours on both, I'm going for the pro as an actual recommendation here even if they were the same price.
