Quoted from bigdaddy07:This is why there should be Premiums and Pros - no LEs. There are many people out there that would have purchased this with the pro cab and LE playfield and not at all interested in the bling. Premium for 5.5kish anf Pro 4.5kish and let them bling it up themselves if they choose. Now they will purchase neither, its a shame.
+1...........I thought Stern was moving in the right direction with the premium. I still think they should only make one version.
Quoted from vcloverjr:If Stern can build Pro's for $4200 and make money, no reason the Premium models at $5700
are not money makers.
I agree because that would work out better for me. Why would they change what they are doing they are finally making money it would be crazy to mess with that.

I think most feel that the LE approach Stern is taking is due to the success model JJP started with. Stern is easily making money with their Premiums at $5700.00. I also understand that Stern
can't please everyone, but why doesn't Stern release the Premium model for the next few Pins and see if that approach is really the winning model for but Ops and Collectors.

Maybe they feel it will hurt some of their LE sales.

I personally really like the Tron model. Pro almost exactly like the LE. The LE adds bling and not real game playing differences except one thing. Then you can buy a Pro and bling it out as would like and still have a great game.
Yes, this is the best model. That way PRO is basically the same game but LE gives you something additional to make it unique and bling to boot. They will lose future PRO buyers with the current model.

Quoted from Baiter:Everyone but Stern and collectors looking for exclusivity agrees with you.
Nope, not true. I'm a collector but i agree with that statement. 
I buy the LE's for multiple reasons. One, i want the full game and not the costcut version. Two, I buy the LE because for a few hundred dollar/euro more you have a version which is going to keep it's value better then the premium one. And let's be honest we all like to keep the risks as low as possible when you are dealing with such amounts of money. I'm not in this to make money, but i think we can all agree that it is nice to keep the bleeding to a minimum when you are going to sell it. Take TF LE for example. I bought it for 6400 euro. Should i want to sell it now (which i'm not 
) I would take a 1000 euro loss over here. But If i bought the combo the loss would be around 1500 euro. So with buying an Autobot for 300 euro more i would have saved 200 euro! (yeeaahh, lucky me 
). Keep in mind this is current sales that i have seen so far over here. In the future it can become even uglier, or it can climb. Wouldn't be the first pin that was recieved poorly at first and then a few months/years later got more apriciated.
