Think the CP may need to be a bit low though and maybe not have a marquee , but whenever i decide its new tv time then that is its fate.

Thinking about using a variation on Moogster66's screen layout? (Not necessarily with the PVC + Tankstick.)

Yeah similar but different :), not seen that build though glad you posted it.
What i am thinking is a more vert cab with the one screen somewhat like a super stretched taito.
I think that if the back of the CP has a downwards lip  then some of the screen can drop slightly below the cp but should still view ok.
One other idea is that if the Cp does indeed sit above and in front the screen then it may be possible  to rotate it, then have a bit of a showcase type cabinet but that's not really how i see it going.
Its all just concepts at the moment and I dont know how well it may work or play but i am going to draw a full sized template one day to see.
One other thing is i do not know how pinball on a vert screen will feel.
I also of course have to pull the trigger on a new tv first
