I think most people that prefer bats are the people that grew up with bats and that have never played much on balltops.

That exactly my my point, i grew up in the arcades in the mid late 80's to when they started to die out in the late 90's IE "85-96/97" and I remember atleast 70% of the games being bat top the only few ball tops that i remember right off the top of my head are, Bad Dudes,Sly Spy,Ninja Gaiden, Shinobi, The Simpson's and TMNT and that's pretty much it, nearly everthing else "atleast where i grew up" was bat top.

I have even have a SSF4 TE stick for my ps3, and i never use thing I hate it, with it's funky short ball top and shiny slick as snot flat top buttons

Almost all games from my era (late 70's to mid 80's) were ball top. I only really noticed bat tops once I got into MAME. I'm sure they were around, just I had forgotten about the arcade scene for so long...
