Four U360s?
severdhed:
i say u360s for all 4 players is overkill... when i built my first 4 player cabinet, i used two u360s (P1 and P2) and two Sanwa JLWs (P3 and P4). THe sticks all looked identical, but I ended up liking the JLWs so much, i opted to use 4 of them in my last 4 player cabinet...with plans on purchasing the servostik upgrade kit sometime for the p1 stick. I still use my u360s in my 2 player cabinet, but i really like the JLWs better. i got bat top u360s, and i wish i would have purchased ball tops instead. the bat top shafts are much thicker and therefore seem heavier. i like the lighter feel of the balltop JLWs.

As far as I know I got Arcade Emulator's last Aim Trak (and had to purchase the shells and kit to make up a second one by gutting an old playstation gun), and he gets his from Ultimarc. I hear they will be in stock late feb/early march.

Based on the question above, let me ask you a question - why do you want a 4 player pedestal?*
read his first post, he has 4 kids....speaking from experience, when you have 4 kids, you need a 4 player cabinet. A pedestal is just the most space efficient way of doing that.
*Edit - legit question, not being snarky.

Yeah, but he's asking about 4 player games, which tells me he doesn't have much experience with them. So in the end, what I'm trying to get him to do is consider whether the extra cost going to be worth it, especially with the cost of the sticks he's looking at. That was the point of my question.
Oh, and I have 4 kids as well.

You may be missing out on some 4 player games if this is the only control panel in the house. There are indeeds some indie and console games for 2-4 players which can utilize 4 analog joys, but many of them can/will be better enjoyed with alternate controllers such as steering wheels or dual joy gamepads. 2 analog + 2 digital is a good start and you probably know what your missing until you reallly need to. One good advice in this case may be to ensure that your digital controller screw template is compatible for u360 replacement later on if need arise. There are in fact many games which play better with discrete switches in the joys, so your 2+2 instinct is looking good.
