I can say from my personal experience in buying a Miggle 620 (with field cover for $200) that the surface was very uneven and 50% of the board was dead area when I plugged it in. I actually returned the first one because of a minor dent and then recieved the next one and it had no dents. Both boards ran identical- bad. It could have easily drove me out of the hobby had I not ventured out to play the game outside of my own home. I hate to bad mouth anything but I have to vent my frustration with this because I hate to think that people would leave the hobby if they have the same experience as I did. At the very least they should understand the risk due to Miggle's quality issues that are very apparent.

The rose bowl boards at Miggle actually ran very inconsistently. There were a couple of boards that ran like a dream (which people were marking just so they could buy it for a tweaking board later) and some (many) were just pure duds. There were some super slow and loud ones (such as the one's the kids got stuck with and one of the boards in my conference was pure like mud- we could have had 10+ second pass rushes). The kids found a secret to press down on the knob to get a little more juice out of it but nothing we could do consistently to fix it. Its this inconsistency that is killer. The other thing, the boards at Miggle ran as best they could in large part to Norbert tweaking them. He's the best person to speak on this, but they all had an issue were the motor bottomed out on the table and they needed shims to raise the corner standoffs so that the motor would be free to vibrate.

I agree that the Miggle boards look great but they fall way short after the initial appearance. That is my opinion, I wish I could be more positive.
