I spent a lot of time early in this hobby planning a cabinet with a yoke on it. Imagine the hacking that would have gone on 10 years ago with this cabinet?
If it gets marked down severely (it won't) I would consider picking one up to hack into a larger cabinet.

Keep an eye out for this one. Glen is targeting the $100 price point. Even at $150 it might be worth checking out...

I bought one from walmart's website for $399 and free shipping over the holiday weekend. It's the only one of their products that I've thought was worth buying so far, and I'm quite happy with it. I wish they would give this treatment to some more games, especially Tempest. I always wanted a Tempest of my own.

I think these dedicated cab replicas is their niche and that they should focus 100% of their efforts on them. Anything that can be played with a joystick can be done better and cheaper with an old PC with mame. There aren't many logical reasons to buy one. Cabs like this with custom controls or ones that can't be played on any current emulator are far more exciting.
We all have memories of certain games we'd love to play again with the right controls but currently can't for whatever reason. When the right game comes out, it will be exciting for even the most outspoken Arcade 1Up haters. I'd like to see more like this but 90's games instead of 80's.
T2 and Daytona (with two cab link play) would sell out before they even went on sale.
