ahh, you're right, that was back before i got a lot of info in the forums, sorry for the confusion.  p1&p2 will be the two joysticks right in front, and i'm thinking p360's for them.  then supers for p3&p4 no matter what the image says  :P

I would get 49 ways for P1 & P2 and the GP-Wiz49 interface board.  And remove the 4 way.  As with the GP-Wiz49 board, you can change from 2/4/8 way modes very easily.

Then for the P3 & P4 get supers and a IPAC2 board to wire everything up.

Would take some calculations, but you would need two GP-Wiz49 boards, so you would have either 30 or 46 button inputs available, so I'm not sure you'd need the I-PAC2.

yeah, my first thinking was

p1&p2 = p360's
p3&p4 = tstick+

then it went to

p1&p2 = p360's
p3&p4 = 49-way

Which then went to

p1&p2 = 49 way
p3&p4 = supers

But my most recent rational was 95% of the time i'm going to be doing 8 way games, why not go with what's said to be the best 8-way stick.  My problem is I'm not sure how well the 49 way feel for 8 way games.  If they feel comparable to the p360's then I can go that way, but while the dsm is nice feature, I figured having dedicated would be better, as the 49 way have to try to be so much, it'd be tough to excel at all of them. 

so basically, it comes down to, the 5% of the time i'm going to play classic games, is the slightly less clutered panel worth it? and do the 49 way play decent for 8 way games, mainly fighters, or are the p360's that much better.  Sadly i haven't heard anyone mention a comparison, and i'm not too sure if anyone has used both that can compare, if so please let me know.
