They need to make sure that each model has the same lighting, rules and game interactive toys and then the LE's could have different plastics, cabinet decals, translite that make it unique looking and collectible, not the game play.
I agree with pretty much everything you're talking about swinks but the quoted above most of all.
I will never buy a pro unless its the only model available.
I don't want a game they took bits out of to sell cheaper.
It's good that Stern are giving people options but the lesser models aren't for me.
