I'm just saying everyone has different tastes, that's all. Personally, I prefer the older when it comes to a lot of things (music, guitars, pinball, etc.), but I can't speak for everyone. DMD tables are more popular, no doubt. The older machines definitely have a faithful following though, and even people that didn't care for them before are digging them now thanks to TPA, VP, etc. I lean toward older pins, but I do like the newer tables as well. As with music, I don't think of it in terms of one era being "the best". Every era has it's bright spots. There's great and and not-so great machines from every decade, just like there's a variety of bands from each as well. It comes down to the individual table (and song) design and layout. Being more technically advanced and more complex doesn't automatically make anything "the best". The different decades have their own style and characteristics, and that's where taste comes in. For me, I like my drop targets the way I like my guitar solos. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> I think Farsight is wise to bring us the best of both worlds, catering to the whole spectrum of pinball fans. The balance is good.There's also a significantly less DMD tables to choose from, so they'd extinguish their options much faster if they released two a month on a regular basis.BTW, The Dylan bootleg albums are official releases, so he's certainly getting paid...and the quality is the same as his early albums because the songs are studio recordings. It's just stuff that couldn't fit on the albums at the time because he recorded so much back then (luckily for me since it's some of his best stuff, IMO).And I couldn't take more than 30 seconds of Daft Punk, but to each their own. That's my whole point <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
