I have had 50+ originals and spent allot of money trying to get them all in an acceptable in home condition, These cabs are inexpensive, Easy to move and reliable. I have had no lag issues and the new ones (Tron, Starwars, Tempest, GoldenTee) really give you that classic arcade vibe and provide authentic control setups that are difficult to multicade - The only original I have left is donkey kong with an arcade SD multi card in it. If they come out with an A1up DK that will be gone also.
