I use real coin mecs with arcade tokens.

I would agree with you on authenticity when it comes to an arcade monitor, joystick or buttons though I disagree when it comes to the exit, pause and coin button on the CP. These don't dilute the 'arcade feeling' for me at all and are a really nice convenience when you're playing. I have real functioning coin mechs as well though they're more for novelty when showing off the cab. Putting coins in or opening the door and triggering the mech is an unecessary PITA in my opinion.

Yeah, it's a pain if you want to play a lot of games. However, if you have kids over - it's kind of nice to dole out some tokens or quarters and tell them to take turns.

No one will get the 100% arcade experience. After all this is MAME.

And for me, having to take out the keyboard for all admin buttons, including  the highly used pause and exit buttons take away from the arcade experience even more so.

Every one will establish what is the middle ground for them.

It just depends what you expect from your machine. If you want a machine that plays multiple games, you will make some sacrifices. However, if I wanted to only play Donkey Kong - my cabinet will provide a 100% authentic experience.

If I really want the 100% completely real arcade experience that I remember as a kid, I would have to have my mom give me a ride and give $10  ;D

I like pause, my bladder isn't as strong as when I was a teenager
