I got this yesterday, and it seems to be a big improvement. I also picked up the Stern art blades for the game, and they look amazing. I was also impressed with the print quality on them-they're on a very heavy stock, almost a lenticular plastic material rather than a standard paper/vinyl. Seems like they'll hold up pretty well.
Also got the siderail plastics, but I'd already sort of fixed the ball hops by hammering the lane guides up a little. We'll see if this helps eliminate them for good though. The shorter drop target springs are also a big help-no more rejects off those targets.
