Franken-panels Vs. Multi-Swaps

Bender:
option E

Rotating panel, clean look, very quick change, all the controls you want! >:D

TheShanMan:
I built a swappable system and I really like it, however I rarely swap panels (largely because for most of the games I'd swap the panels for, I own the dedicated game). I like the fact that it looks more like a real arcade cabinet (i.e. only the needed controls) and how clean it looks, and I like the fact that if I ever want to play a trackball or spinner game I can do so after about 30 seconds of swapping.

But even without my dedicated games, I would be disinclined to swap unless I was REALLY in the mood for a particular game. Just bear that in mind. I think this is probably true for just about anyone who has a swappable system (just my suspicion). Even when I had just a handful of dedicated games the double joystick panel was in it 90% or more of the time.

at least 6 panels though, right?

emphatic:
I NEVER swap from my 1 joystick, 4 action button, 1 start button panel to my 2 joystick, 4 action button each , 2 start button panel even. Thank God I only play JAMMA conversion games so I don't even have to consider swapping or anything more horrible to my cabs.

TopJimmyCooks:
This problem has been solved, as far as I'm concerned.  P1 and P2 permanently available, with a swappable or leave it out center section.  My cab will have storage accessible from the front for the swap panels.  I will say I tend to leave the trackball panel in most of the time right now, but I think that will fade as the novelty of playing TB and spinner games fades.
