On some of the Stern games I have seen the value in going to a LE or Premium.
I didn't see the value on X Men or ACDC, or Mustang. The Pro was excellent.
Even on Star Trek I didn't see the value in going up to a Premium or LE.

It's the same with the Walking Dead Pro. The Brown LE is not a massive jump at all. Very subtle differences only from a playing point of view. Visually, a different story.

I also reckon the resale on a Pro is better pro-rata and a Pro is much easier to sell because people always want much more for the LE espescially.

I don't see the LE as a fully featured game and a Pro as being a big drop in features.
The way I look at it, is you play the Pro first and say, OK, that's a great game, then you play the LE and say, OK, I see the few extras they have thrown in. They make the Pro first, get it great, then improve it slightly. They don't build the LE first then take stuff away then make the Pro ! I have spoken with Borgy from Stern on this. The Pro is always designed first and action packed. His approach to how he designs and sees a game is very intelligent. Steve Ritchie does it differently. He actually designs two different games from the get go. Different styles, different results but both are excellent at the finish. Borgy is probably the best designer on the planet at the moment. Johns work rate is double compared to Steve when u look at amount of titles over the past five years.

The difference in price doesn't seem to offer anymore than a 10 or 15 percent increase in features.
It's definately not a 40 or 50 percent feature difference that's for sure. 7 grand on a BNIB is one thing. $10,000 or $10,500 is a completely different ball game altogether. I just don't see me ever buying a LE. The Stern Pro is always excellent value for money and still feature packed.
Just play the Pro Walking Dead versus the LE and I am sure most would agree the feature difference is only slight.
I feel that way about the last 5 or 6 titles. Pro has been to me, a exceptional game for the money.
