I really prefer the concave buttons and bat-style stick. Also they're usually 50% cheaper, and I'm pretty tight on cash. I'll probably just stick with sanwas, at least for the joysticks. I don't think there would be enough room for an extra 3/4 inch of mounting material inside the control panel, even if I wanted to go though with the mod. Thanks for the help, Jack.

You know, you can get Sanwa and Seimitsu with bats, as well.

If you are tight on cash I recommend you make a post on the buy/sell/trade section of shoryuken.com and ask if anyone wants to sell some buttons from a Hori Real Arcade Pro joystick.
The Real Arcade Pro, or HRAP as it is called comes stock with generic Hori buttons, but the SF players take them out and replace them with Sanwa or Seimitsu. They usually just keep the old buttons for back ups.
The Hori buttons are nice, just not quite as sensitive as a sanwa, and they fit the exact same hole.
You could probaby get one of the vendors on there to sell you a couple of Seimitsu joysticks, which are cheaper than Sanwas, but still high quality, and some Hori buttons together as a deal. I would not pay over 50 cents each, though.
You might even want to ask the guys at lizardlick.com if they can do that for you.
@HarumaN: That's unfortunate, he was always a real nice guy to deal with.

Ok, one last noob question. Do I have to buy a stick that comes with one of the S-shaped mounting plates, or can I get one that comes with a flat one and replace it with the ones I already have?
