Re: Do you prefer Wire or Plastic ramps & returns? Designer's choice/options?



I like the look of plastic ramps, and would prefer that they're reinforced
with metal at places where they're likely to break (at the end, at the sides
of the entrance and anywhere a ball is going to hit with force. They
also create less pinball dust since there is no metal to metal contact and
they are easier to clean.

Just wondering what most prefer, Wire or Plastic ramps. Also
wondering if it just a matter of preference, appearance or cost that
designers go with one over the other or if there are certain benefits
or opportunities a designer may have using one over the other? Maybe
plastic is best used for the real fast, curvy or higher degree turns.
Personally I love the look of the wireform, but I also like the look
of plastic when 'new' because you can see the PF and any inserts
underneath better. Just curious to know what you all think :)
