The Hagstrom encoders allow you to update the configurations easily through the keyboard cable or a serial cable. The KE72-T is currently the top of the line with 72 discrete input (no ghosting) and a Trackaball/Spinner interface built in.
Personally I like seperate control panels. I have one that has 2 Joysticks, and 5 buttons/player. This covers a lot of games. However, games like Tempest/Arkanoid/Warlords/and driving games need a spinner. A second control panel handles that. I also have a "TRON" control panel. It works with Tron, Zaxxon, Gorf, etc.
BTW: I noticed your email address is ohiohills.com. Where in Ohio are you? COlumbus here....
