You might be right Peter - installed some standard straight flippers, and it makes it a very different game.

For one thing, it highlights the dodgy system 3-6 weak flipper design, and while the flippers are sufficiently powerful if not wonderful, you miss out on the crazy ball speeds that the Banana flippers cause.

The other major difference is the lower ball times - SDTM is way more regular, caused of course by the much wider gap now between the flippers. I measure this to be 68 mm on TW, and compared to 58mm on Firepower, is a massive gap (more like what you see on Gottliebs).

Gonna try this a little while before switching back and deciding for certain, but I am thinking the Bananas are the way to go - certainly a novelty effect, but in a strange way (not you Spamways) quite effective and certainly fun.
