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.

some people care about the artwork, and some want little mini arcades for their kids or themselves.
i got the pac-man one for the artwork, even though i have at least 20 other versions of it on every platform out there.
they will keep doing multi-title cabinets, because apparently thats what people want.
with the current clearances of $50, $75, and $100 cabinets, lots of people are jumping in to get those, and to mod them also.

here's an excellent write-up of using the alan-1 yoke, and putting it into an arcade 1up unit:

That's actually a pretty solid design. The parts they are using are similar to what you'd find in a ~$100 steering wheel for a modern console.... not top shelf but not crap either. It's a very simple design as well... it could be copied rather easily.
