I bet width is more of in issue.  If I remember the plans (if they are even close to the same as the original plans that is) you need to take an inch from each side.  Then you have the issue of 4way in the middle and making sure you can use it.  My only comment might be adding a few buttons for the 4way itself.  But the layout I think is great. 

I've tried a layout similar to this (only one on the bottom) and I kinda liked it...

Then I tried a double 8... 

Now I removed the extra button on the top far right because I never use it..

I don't rest my palm on fighting games anyway, so I think it's going to be a matter of taste, but probably a moot point anyway. Someone that is planning on buying a $5k arcade machine, I don't think they're going to be discriminating enough to know the difference, otherwise, they'd be buying about 7 dedicated machines for the same price and have the exact perfect controls. Im' sure that the market for this is going to be a basement toy for folks that aren't necessarily serious gamers.

That way you can use the 6 button setup for streetfighter and other 2 buttons for something useful.Why does the extra 2 buttons has to be where you put your palm ?? Its very incomfortable ya know.Anyway,I am only giving you ideas on improving your fighter panel layout :)

As Lilwolf said, there are space constraints that prevent putting two extra buttons on the ends.  The bottom row can easily be used as a Neo Geo/Soul Calibur 2 type layout with the extra buttons.  Also, unless you have very small hands, your should be able to rest your palms over the extra buttons without touching them.  In fact, your thumb rests between the bottom two buttons, because they are offset from the rest.

If someone who is actually a customer doesn't want the extra buttons, we'll just take them out, no biggie.  But I think because this machine is intended to be a multi-platform cab with console compatibility, I don't want to limit customers by removing buttons that may be needed for certain games.
