This is a great question and one I would like to weigh in on. I hope others can give their honest assessments too.
The Miggle 620 is NOT the same as the old Tudor 620s. They simply aren't as flat and are slower. My old superbowl filed is the smoothest metal field I've ever played on (but its tiny). For the money, the old Tudor 620 boards are probably the best starter boards if you can't spend over $100.
I really like my wood 308 board from FF.com, it opened my eyes to what a wider board does to opening up the game and also the speed at which this game can be played at. There are no "scrums" on this board. This board brings high energy impact and fast action, and I always enjoy playing on it with my son. This board is also durable and lightweight and one that I trust my 7 year old to keep it under his bed. In my opinion it is not as smooth as an old Tudor 620 but the higher peak vibrations is offset by good tweaking, excellent pro line base designs, and playing the 4.0 weight scale.
I also like most everything I've seen from the Watts metal boards to, but at this time I'm not sure if he's back around making them, I hope so because he does beautiful work.
I love my own custom board because, well, I made it. 24x48" metal field with field covers from Jimbo. I love it because I made it, tweaked it, and it is quiet and smooth. This size field is just beautiful and I'm really happy to have it running quietly because I like to mess around with it after the kids go to bed.
Hope that helps,
Joe
