You get what you pay for.  There are cheap vendors on eBay and some of them have good quality, some don't.  Gameongrafix.com isn't the cheapest but their quality is top notch especially for multicade stuff.

Speaking of GameOnGrafix, i've been wondering about their marquees

When you order the marquee with the acrylic coating, what is the flexibility of the marquee?  Is it like a laminated sheet of paper or is it more like a piece of 1/8" plexiglass or is it even more rigid like glass?

My marquee came from gamegrafix and its the ultimate and is sandwiched between two sheet of lexan.
I have no problems with it. My marquee is actually curved and I had no problems with mounting it.

I'd recommend getting the double layered.  I got the single layered,  and my marquee area is a very snug fit,  occasionally causing a bubble to form in the middle of the marquee due to the pressure.  I had to do some rework on the cab to fix it.
