Joystick with Fire Button?

I notice a lot of people with cabinets featuring a spinner and mentioning it helps to play games like Tron, but pictures of those same cabinets show joysticks with no buttons on them, which is what you need to really play a game like Tron (one hand on spinner, one on joystick w/ firebutton)...

I am going to put two joysticks on my cabinet, and am considering using two Happs Firebutton compact joysticks, which would allow for more authenticate gameplay in games like BattleZone, yet still be perfectly usable for ones like Donkey Kong etc.

Any thoughts/experience on this subject?

Thanks - Cryo
