What are you buying it for? For fun or for profit?

JJ or CC would be my choice. Nice to play, plenty of features to 'practice' and generally good fun... ;)

The reason i am getting a new machine is because of my broken Jumpin Jack Cash.

1st problem was when it arrived, the note acceptor was broken, then a few days after works again but only accepts £5 notes.
2nd- the sound went, had to order a new sound card.
3rd- flex strip broke, signals went, i cleaned it and it worked
4th- door came of hinges when i opened it (VERY HEAVY)
5th- flexi strip now broken.

I was offered a few machines, some at a extra cost like Bully 4 U, Top Giza, Hill Billionaire and GZWI. But for a straight swop with no extra cost they offered a me either a CRITICAL MASS or King Kong Cash both without note acceptors, i chose Critical Mass, i think this is good as it is 6 months newer than JJC and i have never had a Red Gaming machine.

Critical Mass is ok, but its not really a classic red (as i'm sure many will agree with me). JG or CC would be a much better choice if you ask me, and as Matt says, plenty of features to practice, understand and have fun with!

The main reason why i did not choose JG or CC was because of the resale value. Plus it is almost unique!!!

what was the extra cost for the BFU and TG? i woulda been very tempted with either of them if the price wasnt too high

with your current list id go with Jackpot Genie as it is very playable and gives you many opertunities to experience ways in which it can be nice and bad to you.

In the end i was only offered either Critical Mass or King Kong Cash.

Top Giza and GZWI are £600 extra , Bully For You is £500 extra on top of the JJC trade price and Hill Billionaire is £700 extra.

Critical mass is a very fun machine to play, but not a "typical" red, if u want a red for the sake of having a red, go for CC or JJ but Critical mass gets my vote :)
