MNW:

Thanks for the thread on the restrictor plate.  That pretty much seals the deal for me on the u360.

2 - why would I need 6 or 7 buttons?  What am I missing if I keep it to 4 or 6 buttons?
3 - Is a spinner really necessary?  What games does a spinner open up for me that I can't play with a joystick or trackball?
4 - Is there a minimum width I can get away with?  I have seen layouts at 34 inches, but am hoping to go a little narrower without losing comfort.

Here's my opinion:
1- Nope.  Not unless you 'demand' the feel of 4 way restriction.  I'm very happy with mine in 4-way games and may end up selling the stick I got to do dedicated 4 way because of it. 
2- As noted - 6 is for fighters, 7 gives you the neogeo layout (which I discarded as necessary but now I realize is actually a pretty nice thing to have)
3- If you want to play spinner games it is.  Omega Race, arkanoid, some driving games (if you get a wheel attachment), etc.
4. My cab is 24" wide (the CP) + wood on each side of that.  I have multiple control panels, but a 2 person fighter layout (6 buttons, 7 buttons isn't really doable) is fine.
