Stern have had us scratching our heads for a few years now with its 3 tier system.
Maybe now they've gone into the mod market we could see the same machine but in 2 modes... basic and then the game that includes the optional extras like topper, blades etc.
In all honesty, a Stern game should be the bread and butter game of the hobby... their market really is in the $6000-$7000 range.
The high end $10K+ games should be left to the smaller companies.
A bit like buying a Toyota Yaris or spending more and getting a Merdcedes
