I would agree that for the most part, Brunswick centers are always nice, clean and well maintained. Their pinsetters are great and lane surfaces are top notch.
AMF is more focused on birthday parties and open bowling. However, there are some very nice AMF centers.
I would say the main reason that Brunswick owned centers are better for bowlers than AMF centers is because Brunswick is one of the big 3 bowling ball manufacturers. They need real bowlers to be bowling or who else is going to buy their high performance stuff? Birthday parties aren't buying an alpha-max or Loaded Revolver.
Just my $.02
