Zen Pinball - by Zen Studios [Universal] +poll for best IOS table

I don't usually play pinball but I just might check this out.

Grabbed Tesla, which is an old favorite.

What's the verdict on the Fantastic Four, Avengers, and Hulk tables? Do any of these feature bizarro mechanics like switching the flippers on the Spidey tables (not a fan of that sort of thing)?

Looks fun but, man, we just recently got the Avengers table and next thing you know Hulk goes rogue and now Iron Man and Captain America are fighting it out...crap, I guess it isn't easy keeping a team together.

Anyone have screen shots of the new tables?

Enh, here's about the third best thing (falling under a video or screenshots of the iOS version), here are videos of the console versions:

I can personally testify that, at least on my iPad 3 they look pretty darned identical to what was shown above.

I've been getting into ios pinball games lately, and have dled and tried both this and Pinball Arcade. It seems like a lot of people online think Zen plays better, but so far I can't understand why. To me, it seems like the ball in this lacks any kind of real weight and moves much too fast. The Pinball Arcade tables seem to feel must more realistic. Am I crazy? I'm no pinball expert, but I do remember playing lots of Funhouse as a kid.

As I stated just a few posts back, I prefer Pinball Arcade for the most part but it seems that every other update massively breaks the game (like now on some tables it will jump into multiball for no apparent reason and then, just as quirkily, not recognize that all balls have drained by remaining focused on the playfield and not sending out the next ball). Zen Pinball, on the other hand, rarely has a botched update. I also like, since they're not based on any REAL tables, they can add bizarre surreal elements like comic book characters actually jumping onto the table to grab the ball!

Yeah, I've been getting those bugs with PA as well. By the way, what is considered to be the best Zen pinball table? I've played with the free one for a bit, but it hasn't really hooked me.
