I own a SS and I would never part with it/her.
There's a lot of poppycock on the 'net about the game being an easybeat, this is slightly true depending of course on your ability. No mention of the obvious fact that ANY machine can be enormously toughened up in settings and other ways.
Any criticism of SS/Elvira is completely overcome by the FUN factor. Fun to play, fun to listen to and fun to watch on the DMD.
To quote Evira "get it in there" (in your collection of course!)
