I think that the graphics look sharper. I like the new lighting. They should keep it that way. IMO, it's perfect as it is right now.
If there are alot of complaints then FS could come up with a feature .
I would prefer the choice to play in both environments, like playing in a room with the lights on, or the lights off. The dark versions don't let you see the beautiful artwork on some of these machines because of the lack of color.
Having played both in a dark arcade, and in my home, a darkly lit room was much better for seeing backlit table inserts and the DMD. But i also would like a switchable option to chooseAfter playing on my living room tv, I love the new look. However, I still like my view of wanting both a light in the room is on option, and see what a real light show looks like option.
