I'm not sure I would call it a "mistake" to try and handle as much with one cabinet as possible.  Not everyone has the money, room, or forgiving spouse to have a bunch of arcade cabinets in the house.  You obviously do and should consider yourself lucky, but I wouldn't call the alternative a "mistake".  Nice machines you have there, BTW.

Your right, mistake is harsh and wasn't meant to be a rule that applies to everyone. I should've stressed it was an opinion. In my case, it was a mistake and I see many other people say it was a mistake on thier part as well. The biggest issue with mine was squeezing two 8 ways with multiple buttons on a 22.5" control panel. Two grown men couldn't play it comfortably at the same time.

With that being said, many people are happy with a larger control panels to handle a larger number of games and swappable panels. I suppose the best advice in relation to the control panel is build a mock-up.
