The question is, do u buy one Bally/Williams for $9 grand, or do u buy 4 x excellent Data East /Segas ? for the same price. I went the Data East/Sega route. I dont think any B/W plays better than a data east/sega, just different, not better. They are all top fun.
I know one fellow who only collects Bally/Williams and will not have anything under any circumstance in his house except high end B/W. His collection is apx 10 machines and it must owe him $90 grand. ( 9 x B/W machines for 90 k or 35 data east/sega machines for 90 K.) It wasnt a hard decision for me since I have Williams and Ballys as well. I love Pin2000 espescially, but my mate loves his Bally/Williams and it has cost him dearly, but he is happy with that decision. Will he ever get his money back ever, time will tell for all of us. Hopefully pinnys will always stay well priced and in demand.
Thats all that matters. As long as u are happy with a good mix of any pinball. They are all great fun. I love the Williams widebodies, pure class.
