Thats great news it actually looks bigger then it is. The cab i want Midway Mini Cabinet is about the same size. Well I can now Put in a pac stik in middle an 8 way on the left and plenty of buttons on both sides of the 4 way plus a spinner, heck maybe ill put in a rotary 8 way for some ikari warriors Nice!

I believe the Servostik is basically a J-stik which is more or less a Sanwa JLW

paigeoliver:
Try instead putting both joysticks next to each other and sharing the same button bank. You can install a Ms. Pac-Reunion 4-way and a Wico 8 way on the same panel with the bases actually touching, provided they are set up to play with the left hand and the reunion stick is the leftmost of the pair.

Sorry if I'm late to the party here, but this could have helped you out. 

From the shmups forum, 3 pages about how many buttons a vertical cab should have for shmups:

Are you still working on this?  Order parts yet?

If you're serious about shmups, an American stick isn't going to cut it.

Here is a mod I made for the Sanwa JLF to make it excellent for shmups:

To play shmups properly, you're going to need that or a Seimitsu.

Ok, so the above will work pretty well 4-way games, but if you're that nuts about Pac-Man, you're going to want a dedicated 4-way stick seperate from your shmup stick.  You can fit them on the same panel, as a lot of 4-way games only use one stick for both players.

For a 4-way stick I'd recommend either an authentic 4-way WICO leaf switch stick, or a Seimitsu using a 4-way gate.  The JLF has a 4-way option, but it's not very good.  Someone ought to make a better 4-way restrictor for it...
