Planning first project. X-Arcade or not?

Agree completely. However, I do believe most people are after "better" control in general. There are exceptions like Ms. Pacman etc and restore jobs were people need/want to get as close to authentic as possible.
However, there are also a lot of people like me who care about "better" and the accompanying word "Gameplay". For us...those two are most important and unfortunately that is where the X Arcade lacks in comparison to some of the "better" parts out there as it does not deliver the same level of "gameplay". I bought one...enjoyed it and still love the trackballs but the joysticks are really no comparison to something like the Competitions or JLWs I have used since.

I say get your list together and try to get as much stuff as you can from one vendor to help minimize shipping costs. If you are interested in the "authentic" back in the day HAPP feel then go to lizardlick.com and or the iL competition stick from there.
Good luck with your build and if you have any questions about anything post it or send me a PM.

Well here is the design for the cp, and the cp added to my cab model. Still trying to decide if I want to add a spinner, but am definitely leaning toward no. I also need to add in some admin buttons, but am still trying to figure out exactly what is needed.

If you are going to add a spinner get the Turbo Twist 2 from GGG. It is as easy to install as a HAPP button push button.
