3" trackball or Highball 3" trackball

The subject says it all.  Has anyone used both?  Which should I choose for my control panel?  Which is more authentic in the majority of games.  Authenticity aside which one feels better and allows for the most accuracy/best play control.  I know that this is all personal preference, but that's what I'm asking for.

I've got both a happs 3 inch trackball and a happs 3 inch Highlip trackball.

If I had to pick which one I like better, it would be the highlip one.  I've got that one on a GT cab that I built. (it's actually a GT fore control panel that has no mounting bolts on top at all so its all flush.)

My regular 3 inch trackball (now gathering dust) was mounted with the top mounting plate.  So that might have been why I like the highlip better (no bolts, etc.)

I'm reusing the same happs ps2 interface on the highlip that I had on the regular 3inch ball.

They feel the same as far as responsiveness goes, I guess I like the BIG BALL, baby. Especially on GT, World Class Bowling, Shuuz - it feels like you get a better piece of it when you wail it.

My 2 cents.
