Converting cabs shouldn't be done with minimal changes or even realistically a budget in mind as it can get really expensive fast, even more so without a fully equipped fab shop...Personally Jenn likes the commercial grade Lcd, as they made with the arcade game in mind, multi inputs, fast transition speeds, nice view angles and most of all clean build lines, with a substantial weight reduction over its crt counerpart...Parts (including wheel/shifter) most likely will have to be changed and modified to even fit the cab, much less run it with mame, It is not a bad idea IMO , just a really intense project that could realistically take years to implement...When it is done it is worth virually nothing out there in the real world.
