Haven't found a game (that I like) yet which uses more than 3 buttons.

I can do Pause, Esc, etc. using the "shift" functionality of the I-Pac.

Distance between the joystick and buttons is 95mm, spacing between buttons is 40mm. Click on the image below, to see all the dimensions.

Also, what if people like me come over and ask if you have Street Fighter or something?  You have a huge list of games, but no SF?  "WTF?", I would say to myself.  Part of owning an arcade is for show off value.  After all, it took you some time to build and it's your pride and joy.

I agree with this.  Part of having a cabinet would be to entertain friends and family.  It's also a conversation piece for your home.

I'll also lend the advice of my father in law.  Don't not do something that you might regret later.  For example, I debated putting recessed cans in my kitchen during a remodel.  I also had one light in the center of the kitchen.  I debated and debated.  I was spending something like $20K on the kitchen and I was busy debating what was about $20 in wire and $100 for the cans.  At worse, I spend $120 that might not be used on something when the overall scope of the project is $20K.  But the cost to add those cans later would be much greater if you need/want them.  As it turns out, I am very happy that I put them in since the additional light is very useful.  So, how much are you spending in total and what is the cost of 6 extra buttons (3 per player)?  If you have hte room for more buttons, I say do it.
