From a eye candy point of view with the LE models having factory LEDs etc, I will partly agree with you somewhat, the Pro looks basic at first glance, BUT the PRO model has exactly the same directional shots everywhere on the playfield except the lower playfield. From that point of view there will always be 2 x camps or two points of view. One camp will say spend the extra $3300 and go the LE, the other camp will say save the $3300 and buy the PRO   . No one is right or wrong, its just personal preference. Both machines/versions are action packed. *Sorry Gav, i didnt expect to have the machine til monday, otherwise u would have been first on the list.lol  It was a last second rush to see if anyone could come at very late notice.lol

THANKYOU
I played the PRO tonight alot and want to thank Andy(Beaky) for helping me set up the machine, and also for fitting the Stern shaker motor.
Leon(V8racefan) was also able to pop past a bit later and have a few beers and play some Acca Dacca. Leons going home and will get to set up his own PRO tomorrow morning, so tonight was a prelude to his own unboxing. I will post a few photos tomorrow.

FINDINGS/GAMEPLAY
Nothing has changed since I played the PRO at AMD in Sydney except the game is better with more updates to the gameplay/dot matrix with the software upgrades. Steve Ritchies voice overs are excellent. The game is lightning fast, and i mean FAST. The music/audio is great, alot of fun.
Overall, I am very very happy, and anyone wanting to get the best of both worlds (BNIB machine, and stick to a budget) would be more than happy with the Pro. The game rocks. AND i might add, this game is no pushover, it is challenging, very challenging, you wont get bored of the Pro anytime soon at all.   If u want to add LEDs you can, but it doesnt feel like it is a must, but if u wanted the Pro to look like a LE you could add Leds if u really wanted to.

Overall, excellent machine.  I know anyone buying any version of the AC/DC machine will be very happy.  ^^^
Well done to all the people who waited patiently for their AC/DC machines.

A MASSIVE THANKYOU TO BRUCE FROM AMD for all the excellent service from day 1 of ordering, to the last step of sending the machine wrapped very very well. Great people to deal with.  ^^^ ^^^

BUILD QUALITY
my machine number underneath says machine number 393 of 500. So its a late build in the first 500. I expect Stern will sell alot more than 500 of the Pro model. Build quality is perfect, 100 percent perfect and not a spec out of place. Everything wrapped n strapped perfectly, everything works perfectly, build quality is excellent in every way. I am happily relieved !
