But some of the new technology I reckon would be the stuff you don't see - proxy sensors in the lanes to replace the wire exposed  micro switches - proxies can pickup metal 10 - 15mm or more so they are under the playfield screwed into a plate and recessed into the back of the playfield, never seen and then no cuts through the playfield and much more reliable. Yes may cost twice as much but last a life time of playing.

A vertical 19 inch LCD in the back of the playfield would be awesome then you can catch the features of the game while playing. Personally not a fan of the RFM etc as the video image is a little too much and you don't get to see the ball travel around the (back of) playfield much. Haven't played this much but when I did it just seemed repetitive in goals, got old very quickly for me.

And with the woz - it just sees they are putting a little more effort into the toys where stern now seems to be using $10 toys from walmart and perspex panels - like the dancing band in the back rhs corner and even the cannon is average - this could have been enhanced for the LE with plastic molded ones like on Transformers. I suppose better to say Stern could pickup the quality on the LE's, as for the pro's - good value for the last release.
