This game is awesome and it doesn't matter what model this is a winner and already has great code :-) heaps of modes and flow. I'm glad I got one it's just a blast very exciting and almost old school with a save kicker in the left outline to a VUK onto the ramp with the premium/LE models there's a ton of fast ramp shots with great combos it sort of has a 90's feel I love it :-) no complicated toys to f##k up the ship moves enough it's fun the magnet during certain modes throws the ball back at you at high speed similar to JP although that uses a coil/kicker. The display is tilted back to avoid glare and the back of the Backbox is metal as Dan said with vent holes as Pete mentioned. This model has Backbox flashes the side rails have LEDs on the outside and a back lit ship near the flipper buttons also the side of the inside of the cabinet has LEDs like a rope light very nice. Stern must have fixed up some of there QC issues as my game and others I've heard of have been great straight out of the box :-)
