Hi, I am planning on buying one of these 2 and I was wondering which would be the best choice...

I hope someone can give me usefull information, seems like a lot of people here know what they're talking about. I already know the insides of the guns are both from ultimarc

That means it comes down to personal preference. Pick which ones look the best to you.

ok I know that but the difference is that the arcade guns have 3 buttons and the ultimarc has 2 is this important or not? do both work on the same games?

I bought a pair of red Arcadeguns from the eBay store and the were delivered quickly and without problems. They were a little cheaper than the Ultimarc version and the big difference will be the aesthetics (do you like the GunCon look of Ultimarc's case, does Arcadeguns' red, white, or blue go better with your cabinet?) an button placement of the secondary buttons. There was also a slight problem of availability of the Ultimarc guns so I don't know how that factors in but it was enough to move me to buy the Arcadeguns.

Oh yeah, and Arcadeguns can't be upgraded with the recoil kit from Ultimarc since the cases of Arcadeguns has no sliding parts. That might matter to you down the road.
