OK, the bug has bit me and I'd like to restore my Centipede asap.....

I'm looking for a new CPO and I have seen two on offer:
Arcadeshop:



applied:



Quarterarcade:


and this is how Quarterarcade shows it on e-bay:


Now compare this with my current CPO (this picture was taken by the seller in daylight):


and (this picture was taken by me, with flash):



Remember, my Centipede is Irish built and we all know there are color differences between US built and Irish built cabs. SW Cockpit is a very good example. (US is deeper blue, Irish lighter).

Now, from judging all the pics, I'd say the US repro's are a darker blue than the one on my cab. It seems the Irish blue is much "blue-er", harder color. However, since it matches so close to the bezel, I fear the color difference may be too much if I would order one of those repro's. Anyone has ordered any of these ? I seem to remember that there were two versions of the CPO (I don't mean the Willis) ?

Any help much appreciated !

Of course, I post this and the next minute I find this:

Dark and light blue..... I guess I will now have to go for an inkjet repro.....I somehow always prefer to have real silkscreen....Richie are you planning on doing Centipede CPO's ? I mean the light-blue one's ? :)

[Edit] Thinking this over, I have heard nothing but good stories about Mamemarquees so I guess I'll just try them this time :)
