It does kind of annoy me when I see someone bash Gottlieb tables just for being a Gottlieb and that sense of elitism that too many hobbies seem to have in any genre(movies/tv/videogames/pinball etc.), they were one of the top companies for EM's and I would say even their early SS tables held up well to many of their competitors at the time. It's true many of the Premier tables don't get much love but there are people out there that still enjoy them and I don't fault anyone for getting a table they want or wished for.I don't have any place close to me that I can even play pinball tables other than to take a 2 1/2 hour one way trip to and I know talking with some others they don't even have pinball parlors in their countries at all, I grew up during the Golden Era of arcades but didn't have an appreciation for pinball til Farsight came along with their console pinball collections and eventually The Pinball Arcade. I actually look forward to any of the tables they bring out.
