Are illuminated buttons distracting?

I'm debating whether to bother illuminating my buttons. I was thinking, if you're playing and it's mostly black around the monitor and control panel area, wouldn't illuminated buttons be distracting?

I love mine.

I've got my P1/Pause/P2 illuminated right in front of the monitor bezel, and I have light up modules of varying button configurations.

I haven't found either of them distracting because I'm focused on the monitor.

I have 4 lighted credit buttons and other lighting around the cabinet and I have no problem playing. Actually I see zero reflection off of the monitor because of the angle.

I always played with illuminated buttons in the real-arcades (15 years ago).

The buttons where also bigger than american/japanese buttons...

I still need to be used to this small/non-illuminated pushbuttons that people use now  :)

ChadTower:

No, I LOVE my Atari LED buttons.
