Quoted from lowepg:

What's the current take on the cost/value on this vs the Premium?
Normally I would assume Premium for home use, but I keep hearing good things about the Pro....
Backstory: I'm looking for a fun, fast, flowy game to balance out my TSPP....
Ps - I love ramps!

I have the LE and to me it has enough 'bling' to justify the price.

While I give the nod to the pro for value, nothing will make it as good as the LE, I mean no amounts of mods will ever equal the premium / LE for the color changing inserts, I first saw them on AcDc premium but on ST premium it's another world better.

For me:
Color changing inserts
Power coated armor and lighted etching that can be seen both inside the and out.
The crashing ship is pretty damn cool
The laser light show is cool, hopeful better when I get the black out mod.
The head lights on the LE is also fairly nice.

Overall, to me STLE is one of the most beautiful pins especially the lights.

I'm bittersweet with my STLE, I love it but it took the place of MMR in my collection, it was more instant gratification as I got the STLE 1-2 years before I would have got the MMR.

Agree with Whysnow. Great for noobs and casual players but super deep if you keep a game for many years (like I do). I have PotC for 8 years and can easily foresee keeping STLE for a decade or more.

With that in mind, it didn't bother me paying another $3k extra for the LE. Technically the pro is just about the same, but with bling of the premium LE I figured it's going to be worth it for me as I'm likely to keep it 10+ years so I wanted no regrets.

Quoted from Eskaybee:

having the full experience of this game is awesome unlike some past prem/LE games.

I wish more pros were as complete. I think Tron pro is fairly close as well. But a while back I was debating between Met pro or premium vs IM. I elected to go with IM since I didn't have to debate if I was getting the wrong version.

Met is good don't get me wrong, outstanding PF artwork, has nice ramps and Sparky is cool, but to me ST flows a lot more. Three flippers and three ramps less things to bash.

I'd say they are equal but if theme is the deciding factor, I far prefer ST. I could not listen to Met songs endlessly, maybe if I substituted different bands in like Sabbith for a few songs but I'm not really that much into Metallica.
