[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 27623, member: 134"] I think Stern is kinda caught in a catch-22 right with their machines. They wanted only licensed tables because that would attract sales, but cost of the license reduces profits so now you have to charge more for the table! Also, how many tables does Stern even produce of a particular title? Is it even 3000? I do think it sucks that there are actual different play elements between their 2 models. One thing to put in better lights and more metal, but to completely leave out a table element (I heard that was the case with AC/DC, is it like that on other tables? Am I getting worked up over nothing?) that cannot be added later sucks. Man, if I'd have known the things I know now back in the early 90's...I'd have bought a bunch of houses and dumped them in 2003, and I'd have scooped up a bunch of tables to be sure! [/QUOTE]
