I bought the dual guns from ArcadeGuns.com and they work flawlessly in MAME,  Nestopia and Steam rail shooters.  I even set one of them in the MAME Star Wars vector game...brilliant.

Bottom line :  I love them.

it's my understanding that the super sensor is only really needed for a larger screen. if you are just using it in a standard cab the regular sensor should be plenty. of you are planning on using it on a larger tv then I would go with the super.

It says on their website that arcadeguns are powered by Aimtrak.  I'm guessing they just build their own shells with the Aimtrak internals, which can be purchased separately.

Yes, they are functionally the same. It's really a matter of which gun design you prefer.
