I owned a LAH and found it boring after a spell.  My problems with it is that it's nearly impossible not to hit one of those two scoops right in front of the flippers.... kind of wish another shot (besides the scoops) could be made more often... I couldn't stand Arnold's voice any longer... and the crane gave me mechanical issues.

Other then those it's not a bad game, just not for me - actually I thought I hated DE games because of this machine... then after playing some others I found that it's just the early models I dislike.

The only gripe I have with DE is the cost of generic parts, like flipper stuff etc.  Compared to the WMS replacement prices, it feels like gouging.

Beyond that, they are pretty solid. (some of the board design is not the best but it works)

Concur. In general IMHO DE from a design perspective is inferior to Williams/Bally of the same era by far. There is very little innovation over Sys 11. Not the most elegantly designed machines but they work. Seem to be rugged and reliable from my experience but lack refinement in design. It's the best Gary could do to copy Williams and as such was not as innovative and fell behind in design and execution.
