Have you taken a look at either the...

Hanaho Hotrod:

or SlikStik CPs:
http://www.slikstik.com/

I was so displeased with my X-arcade that I returned it within days and built my own... no regrets here. Some people think they're ok, but I really couldn't stand it once the novelty wore off.

Take a look at Retroblast.com as well, there's an arcade controller roundup that would be of interest to you:

JoyMonkey:

The HotRod is only $100 and from what I hear, it's a far superior product (it uses Happ joysticks and buttons).

truthfacer:

I just bought a x-arcade a month ago. i knew about others but I  found it the most easiest way to buy an arcade control here in germany. Now I think OK. not bad, but reading here and there aand looking on arcade supply stuff, I bet there is  much better stuff out there! But I see it positive. Since I  don't have tools to build one now I got. a case which I can upgrade from time to time. Nerd Style!!!

I had one for a month, never again the controls are cheap cheap, get a slikstik, or a hotrod

For the price of the X-arcade, your not going to get a better pre-made control.  I got an X-arcade for Christmas and I love the thing.

If, at a future date, you want to 'update' buttons or joysticks, you can.

I will say that in 4 way games, the joys are pretty crappy.  Overall though, it's solidly built, and a good deal for 120-130$.  Making your own, as I priced it, would come out similar in price to the X-Arcade, and you save time.  Altough you may get better joys or buttons.

All replaceable over time...really depends on your willingness to shell out certain amount of cash immediately for a controller (i.e. hundreds and hundreds for a SlikStik).
