Quoted from MrBally:It was obvious that Williams went to painted steel on RFM/SWEII to cut costs with the new size trim pieces being lower quantity with that different cabinet. Stern (Sega?) did it to cut probably$20-30 per machine. And the beat goes on...
My favorite of all the trims is the textured black powder coat Stern uses. Not only does the black look much better than stainless and chrome, it feels better and is less slippery. In my mind it is the most comfortable to play with just because of the feel.
