Ok how on earth do you expect to accurate results? We all know the Video guys are on the fence between deciding on "Video" and "I prefer to wear womens underwear". I suggest that topic get it's own thread so the Video folks can have a chance to truely show thier vote.
I'm trying to really love pinball, I'm trying hard, dang, it's fun...it's like billiards, you line up the shot and take it...it has it's own type of beauty. But vids still have the purest "pick up and play" for me...I guess with vids I felt like I got more of a "fair shake", I'm still trying to get over the fact that a silver ball can choose to drain between your flippers and there's nothing you can do but sit and watch it drain, lol...bugs me!
All that being said, wearing women's underwear down the stairs is a lot easier than carrying anything made by Bally Midway, I think you might be onto something there....
Mastering pins is one thing, mastering Stargate, Robotron, Tempest, Gravitar, Joust and etc is 5 things, hope you see my point !! I like pins very much, the late 70's and early 80' for sounds, originality and beauty like Xenon, Firepower, Space Invaders and etc ... but still prefer vids about the same era !

First off. I am the Stargate grandmaster. Anyone want to knock me off my soap box "come get some".
Second of all you are entirely wrong. Here is why. If you ask anyone that owns several pins they will generally be good at only one or two of them at any one time. The complexity of rules, shots, rebounds, sequences etc. is not a simple equation. Good flipper skills are only a small factor. Ask around and most multiple machine owners will tell you "I am playing this right now and I used to be good at that".
I voted both. I'm primarily a pinball person, but I have a few vids in my collection as well.
