Picked up the new Indiana Jones Pinball this weekend

I had a chance recently to play the IJ4 machine.  So I thought I would right a comparative to the STTNG that I own.  1st let me set the tone for the review.  I am not saying that either pin is better than the other and I am not saying that one is good or bad I am merely pointing out the differences I saw in the few games played on the IJ4 vs. my STTNG. The STTNG is a wide body and the IJ4 is a regular one so the 1st thing I noticed was the play field was narrower.  I did not measure it but I would say 4 to 6 inches narrower.  This made it look smaller over all even though it was I am sure about the same height.  .  The IJ4 is a much slower pin.  The ball speed was about half that of my STTNG.  It was hard to get used to when I am used to the speed of the STTNG.  Going along with that the flippers on the IJ4 were not as powerful and the STTNG flippers.  I am not sure but I think the angle of the IJ4 is less than STTNG adding to it being a slower pin.  My 8 year old son even noticed these.  As I said before this is not saying that either is a bad or good pin but just pointing out some differences.  My son and I liked the IJ4.  Over all it is not one that I would think about buying as I like fast pins.
