I guess it really is a question of how often you will actually have 4 people playing at once.


I have had 4 adults playing at once on mine, and it is a bit cramped, but not unbearably so. My control panel is 48" wide with both 3 & 4 players angled. The 45

I don't understand the issues with mounting the sticks at an angle.

Normal human beings are more than capable of adjusting for this.  When playing console games, if you're sitting on a couch that's off to a side of the tv, do you contort your wrists so that the controller is at a perfect 90 degree angle with the TV?  No, of course not.

Dude, i've seen people lean into jumps, thinking that the character on the screen will jump farther somehow.  but yeah, most people can deal with it after a few minutes of playing.

well the whole reason i picked a showcase cab was mainly for the control panel width and to have enough space at the back of the control panel so when i play golden tee, im not hitting the class.  you really cant do all of those things effectively at once on an upright, so thus, the showcase cab.  and i know that it may not remind of you of the old school days, and to be honest, the showcase cab stuff didnt really start happening until after i wasnt going to the arcades as much, so they werent really a part of my life either.  all that to say...if you want 4 players, at COMFORTABLE angles and enough space for everyone, you are either going to have to sacrifice something on an upright (i.e. no 4 player cp/cp that is too wide for an upright/or cramped 4 player) or you will build a showcase.
