[QUOTE="pseudokings, post: 44002, member: 612"] I think Heighway and Skit-B are trying to make (and haven't really done anything yet) a bare bones table. Heighway, with the hope, it seems of selling them to bars in Europe, and Skit-B with making sort of a glorified hobbyists product. Don't get me wrong, with all the money I could want I'd pre-order a table from each for sure, but... Stern is established and has real Bally/Williams era talent on staff, and JJP may be new but everything about what they are doing (except maybe table layout/design - which is open to debate) is about evolving pinball into a more modern product, with a hint of luxury to it, and they have a pretty solid talent lineup too. They aren't making it cheap, in fact they are quite literally making a better (physical) product than has ever been done before in pinball. Direct print. Better cab construction. LCD instead of DMD. Redesigned and reenforced parts. Etc. They have well over 1000+ preorders for their first table, have announced a second which is likely to be an even bigger hit (based off of relative current license interest), and mean to make a top quality product and stick around for the long haul. I think they can. I hope they can. And I want Stern to steal all their good ideas, and for both of them to be around for decades to come if at all possible. As for Heighway, Skit-B, and everybody else trying to get started, more power to 'em, but none of it really looks... serious enough... to me to really last. [/QUOTE]
