Quoted from Jokercyclone:EM's are a different way to play and really add variety to your line up and pinball playing skill set. Also if you watch any show or movie you know they are all really EM's.
Here's an analogy I like to use:
EM's are like Pac-Man – charming but challenging, lo-fi, small-scale puzzle-based games with short play times. DMD's are more like Call of Duty – often with epic stories, cinematic sound and light shows, a much more complex and bombastic game experience where single games can last 30 minutes or more.
Both are fun, both use the same basic format (flippers and a ball/joystick and a screen) but they offer vastly different gaming experiences. People often have preferences for one or the other, but I think that a collection that includes both EM's and DMD's is a well-rounded one.
