I have one but have not installed it.  Waaaaay stronger than the original - I doubt they will ever break.  Comes with attached spring metal ramp flaps.

I dont have one but usually if RTBB has it listed it will no doubt be on thinker plastic and will be stronger.

Pinball INC/RTBB usually rectify the issues from the original williams ramps which were thin and prone to cracking over the years.

It will most definitely be a better product.

Okay I'm a little biased...we made the new ramps using ABS versus HIPS (styrene).  ABS is much stronger.  Second we made them using a new "male" tool which allowed us to make the ramp extremely thick at the entrances.  The ABS we used is .177 thick compared to .125 used originally.  We were able to install flaps which make the transition from the playfield to ramp much much smoother.  The smooth shot will save the shuttle ship from taking a beating as well.  Bottom line, these new ramps are a tank.  They won't break.

The ramp business was very very good to me.

Spot on Marco. I've installed quite a few PinballInc / RTBB Ramps and they are incomparable with the originals.
