Are you planning on playing Arkanoid or any spinner games that require a high resolution?

The Blackhawk is an excellent choice. Ironically I was just talking to Randy yesterday about his push/pull spinner as I had been out of the mame loop for about a year while I finished my multipin project. It sounds as though Randy's (GGG) push/pull is a phenomenal choice as well. I have had the Blackhawk for two weeks now (wasn't aware the GGG was actually in production when I purchased) and have nothing but good things to say about it. If I were to nitpick the only two things would be the large footprint it requires, and the"grinding" noise. And even that noise isn't really grinding, but a slight rubbing sound as the metal disc rotates while in contact with the plastic microswitch actuator(only when push/pull not just rotating). I had been a Slikstik user for many years and my most recent cabinet, it was difficult to find a tornado anywhere. I have to say that the Apache feels really good. I haven't played all of the spinner games yet, but the ones I have played, played well.

I think both products are an excellent choice regardless, and that both vendors feel that they have the best product on the market (as they should, because they both seem to be really good)......In the links provided to you, it is important to note that "whynotpizza" is actually the owner/designer of Apache Controls and his opinion is obviously biased towards his product....

I want to use this for all mame games that use a spinner.

I don't think this is the case.  They both are named David but the owner of Apache Controls posts under apachecontrols.  I think whynotpizza is a member like us (non vendor).

Good info., I will try to keep that all in mind.

So with what you said, do you think you would go back and choose the TT HL over the Apache now? I know you sauid you are very happy with it and the reviews that I posted seems very positive.

I am just trying to buy the very best and when you are spending over 100 on a spinner, I think that is not too much to ask.
