i hope someone will let javeryh know that he has a comment here on his CP layout.
javeryh,
I cannot login to post on your thread so I thought I'd post here. You could move the pause button over to the left side only at the bottom of the layout so it is not next to the exit button. Then you could put the coin button on top on the right followed by the player 1 and 2 buttons below in that order. I copied the pic from your thread for reference.

I also think that your spacing on the action buttons are fine, but you might want to move them a little closer to the stick though.
TTFN
