Yet another 49-Way question - how many do I need?

Probably the best option.

The second best, if you really wanted to save the dough, would possibly be to mount the 49-way as stick 1 but use a 1-1/8 inch mounting hole, and use a Happ Super or Competition for Stick 2.  Mounted this way, the stick is physically restricted (not full travel) to the throw of the Super or Comp, but the feel should be similar.

Someone (Armax ?) on the board tried this and wasn't crazy about it, as I recall, though.

OK, here is another question.  I will be putting a spider on at least one of them, should I put a spider on both of them?  I am worried that the spider might have some disadvantages in some gaming situations, however, I really want Sinistar to play as I remembered and so will need at least one of the sticks to have a spider. 

Old memory vignette: There used to be an arcade that was over 40 km away (which was several hours transit ride) but it had two great games that I couldn't get enough of, Sinistar and Warrior.  I couldn't find these games in any other arcade in my town.  I made the trip several times that summer (I think it was '82.)   I was truly obsessed because at the time I couldn't convince my friends to come along with me (too far/expensive) so I would always have to find some other kid in the arcade (read: stranger) that would play Warrior with me.  It seems ridiculous to me now that I would go to such lengths because at the time when I went, I would only have about $4 to spend on the machines anyway.  Contrasting what I used to have to do to play these games with having (hopefully soon) a MAME cab in the basement seems almost ... sinful  ;D

What I would recommend is putting a spider on one stick and seeing what the difference in feel was in two player fighting games, then deciding.

That or making a dedicated Sinistar CP and a Street Figter CP that you could swap.
