No, its not. Because Stern Pros today are practically like home editions and JJP Standards - BOM and features wise - are usually better than Stern Premiums.

You’re either ignorant or trolling. One is fixable, so hopefully you can get your learning on and reason more effectively moving forward. Or, troll away!

I can’t speak for the pinball scene in Wyoming, but...oh hell, sure I will. I’ll bet Stern’s are more popular out there, on theme alone. Won’t go in to my theories as to why.

Also, ya got a lot of location pinball out there? Because if you don’t, customers are going to play what’s in front of them and like it. My guess is, ya don’t. But I hope I’m wrong.

In NYC area, I decide what I want to play and then go to the locations that have those games. JJPs and Stern Premiums and LEs are often very much part of that equation. Maybe route operators out here are just cooler? Because we have JJPs and Stern LEs all over the place. And Spooky and CGC. But more like they realize that offering a lot of options is good for business, and keeps people coming in the door. That and, I’ve heard, JJPs frequently kill on route.

Reliability, hmm, for as many problems as Stern has, I imagine a Stern pro is more reliable. When there’s nothing in the game there’s nothing to break. Genius move.
