Thanks guys. I have been watching some more of the game plays and it does seem like a drain monster. The wider flipper spacing doesn't seem to help. I think it will be a challenge as I like games with shorter plays. What's the chances the games will have maybe a provision for a centre flipper post?
or you can go for my custom 3 1/8" flipper bats 
CFTBL is the same flipper spacing as nearly all of Trudeau's games, you will actually get used to it
ha ha, any chance of making 4" ones, that should close the gap to near nothing
