I would definitely drop that kind of money on a new machine if it was a theme I enjoy. However there are a few things that bother me with 'modern' pins being released lately. 1) The art work looks phoned in most of the time. I cant stand new art work that looks like a photoshop students project. I prefer the old look of screen printed art on the playfields. 2) the playfield parts look cheap compared to older machines. One that sticks out in my mind is The Avengers.
