Modular CP...is it worth it?

Don't want to be playing a game where milliseconds count and the joystick fall off the cab.

I can't speak for other setups but mine is ROCK SOLID. It was the most important aspect when coming up with my design. I am very rough when playing some games so it had to hold up and not feel flimsy during a heated game of Robotron.

First let me say that this is in no way a slam against you.

Noticing and saying are different. Most people may not understand what they're seeing, and just assume it's "supposed" to be there.
Most people that use my machine haven't played an arcade machine in over 10 years, or really even thought about them.. it's natural that they would just assume everything is the way it should be.

hmmm. I'll have to agree with the above poster. Most who have played arcade games do realize that arcade control panels aren't segmented. In fact, I noticed seams in a few photos when I was a newbie and only after reading up about the actual cabinet in curiosity, did I start to learn about modular control panels. I would say that people notice but are polite enough not to criticize (not meant to be harsh in any way).
