    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    Honestly, the DMD-style menu works fine. It's intuitive, simple, and gets the point across.
    It's 100 percent for service and adjustment. Why should stern waste time and resources beautifying it? How would this improve anybody's feature adjusting or service testing experience?

    It's that attention to detail we look for when dropping upwards of $9000 on a pin. Sure, old, basic menu works fine but so does photoshop art, clipart animations, thin clearcoat, and cheap voice actors. Pin can still be fun with all that but a lot more enjoyable when everything done at a higher level. Stern still makes the cheapest full featured pin so guess you have to cut corners somewhere.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    I don’t see what a basic menu has to do with any of the gripes you mentioned.
    It’s easy for stern to ignore your complaints when they are as weak as this. To extrapolate your theory, when stern sees people whining about things as insignificant as this, it may lead them to believe all of your complaints are as equally frivolous and that they aren’t worth addressing.
    Picking your battles instead of going into these bottomless pit of despair laundry list gripefests would probably be much more effective in getting the things you actually need done.

    Yup. Just get it done, ship it out the door, and be done with it. Rinse, repeat. I'm all for it.
