I've owned a range of pins but never a pitch and bat. How much lasting power do you think they have? (I've been held back by the concern that I'd get bored with it fairly quickly.) On the other hand, I think it might be popular with guests. Are they harder to repair than pins? Finally, is there a particular P&B machine you'd recommend above others? Thanks in advance for your advice!

Anyone?

Thanks, friends. I really appreciate all of the comments.

Thanks. If I can figure out how to make a space for it, I might well get one. I have fond memories of using them as kid, so nostalgia is certainly a factor.

I am definitely intrigued. What company will be producing it?

Edit: I did a search and found Benchmark Games. I assume that must be it.
