Gosh, now Monkey See Monkey Do is imitating itself!!
Seriously, a good layout should be recycled, Williams did it for a lot of late model games as well. A new theme and some slight changes can still make a great game - look at AFM/MM/MB

The positive spin is that that Spiderman was a very successful table. The resemblance to ST TNG is unmistakable, but that is also a great table. I think Stern needed a "safe" title after the success of the music themed machines so they looked at ensuring the design was similar to successful previous titles. I have no issue with it at all.
