I, myself am not a fan of "god of all" control panels. If you make 2 or 3 or more control panels that are easily swappable then each individual panel is usually much more realistic, much less cluttered, and is very easy to do. Cost is insignificantly different for the most part. Its just a matter of preference. I just think its way cooler to have a "tron" control panel, a "missile command" control panel, a "sf2" control panel, and a "star wars" control panel, versus one panel with them all. I will actually be using a slight combonation of the two. My street fighter 2 panel will also have two spinners on it. I think its highly unnecessary to build a whole new panel just for two spinners and I believe most would agree. Some combonation of controls is always going to be necessary but combining too many things just looks absurd to me. :)
