Not sure if feeling would hold if you buy one NIB (even a nice one, which this seems to be). But: the joy/pride of building it is likely a strong factor in that. I genuinely enjoy it when I occasionally play it.
Requires much less maintenance than a genuine table (though: some maintenance still required it’s got enough “pinball” in it to keep that adage true). Love the fact that I built it (turned out pretty great and: the story is always a good one).
(The menu system is intimidating to newbies, even with Hyperpin. Even during parties when I’ll just load up TAF or Ghostbusters and have it sitting in the middle of the lineup. ended up using it more for rare older pins I’ll never likely own (CCr, BBB, CV, Safecracker, etc.). Based on BW widebody cabinet (helpful to have a Twilight Zone sitting right outside my workshop for measurements, etc.). Top of the line at the time - force feedback throughout, real DMD, shaker/motor, tilt accelerometer, etc.
