YES

My iron man has leds and it looks great and I played the AC/DC with and without LEDs and I think LEDs are the better way to go (good way to add colour intensity and focus and achieve a unique look- also consider the heat damage from normal globes on plastics.

Mirror blades is another feature which can look good - but maybe this is a feature to chose carefully. Again my iron man has them and the AC/DC  - one with the leds had a set. They do add some depth to the machine and great for playing a game in low light as well. Luke (specialwhenlit) does his own mirror blades that strategically places the optional mounting holes down low under the playfield level and mainly relies on a few bits of double sided tape as well as the backbox hinge bolts to locate.This option allows you to remove with minimal damage if you don't like it, where other suppliers have screw mounting holes higher and you risk putting holes in the areas that you can see - no turning back.

It's like getting a nice car and then opting for tinting and mags - comes down to personal choice.
