I would tend to think the opposite of that. I would consider the smaller control panels as the better suited choice for stand alone. The larger control panels would be a much more tedious thing to hold, but they mount quite nicely to a cab.

I am a fan of the UAII cab design, and I don't think my wide 4 player control panel looks bad on it at all. Though it does have 4 sticks, 32 game buttons, and 12 admin, I wouldn't consider it to be a frankenpanel (doesn't have any other control types), but it is a nice hefty 49" wide. I think it looks great there, and would dread the thought of that thing ever sitting on my lap.

I really don't understand why some people get so upset , (some alot more than others) if somebody else doesn't like, or even makes fun their control panel?  I am about to make my first this week.  I am SURE I am going to get some laughs.  Since it is my first, I obviously don't have the experience of someone that built 10 of them.  Thats how you learn.  I look at it this way, if it makes you laugh, I am happy you enjoyed it so much.  If someone calls mine a frakenpenel and I start whining, someone please smack me...

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of a tabletop controller, rather than a lap-top controller.  I tried using an X-Arcade solo on my lap before, and although it was small and light, it's just awkward to use on your lap.  It would probably be better on a desktop.
