CGE or California Extreme?

These two are pretty close together.  If you had to choose between them, which would you go to?

I'm going to CAX.  I've never been to CGE, so I don't know if my choice is right, but that's what I'm doing.

CAX is arcade video games and pinballs.  CGE has that plus consoles and older computer games.  CAX is a great show, but if you really want consoles and such, the CGE might be your thing.  If you do go to CGE, you must go to the Pinball Hall of Fame - that is worth the trip alone.

If I had to choose one, I'd choose CAX.  That said, the CGE lineup is looking quite good this year = we're lucky to have two shows worth travelling to.

Well, yeah, the pinball museum is very tempting.  But it seems like more arcade games are at CAX, and I'm not really interested in console. Really, I just wanna play retro arcade games, but thought there might be something surprising at CGA - plus I've never been to vegas (though this last isn't that important...but, not having been there, I could be mistaken).
