Definately makes sense.

Borgs designs are usually on the money aboput 60 to 70 percent of the time.

Gomez designs have been also on the money the majority of the time, although I felt the Transformers LE extra playfield stuff was rushed/mediocre.

Gomez designs are >
Attack from Mars
Batman - Stern
48 - Stern
Corvette
Johnny Mnemonic
Monster Bash
NBA Fastbreak
Playboy® - Stern
Revenge From Mars
The Lord of the Rings - Stern
The Lord of the Rings (Limited Edition)
The Sopranos®  - Stern
Transformers - All 4 models

The battle here for Stern IF those two models (X-Men and Avengers) are getting made, will be a battle firstly over artwork. That will be the first decider for alot of collectors, followed closely by playfield design to tick all the boxes. I am hoping they are going to keep the Red LED dotmatrix for the Australian models and the audio upgrades.  When i emailed Stern and asked if these upgrades would continue, they nicely avoided the question, so only time will tell.  Exciting times ahead.
