For what it's worth, I went with the 5.5" measurements for both directions, and I can play on it just fine. A local arcade recently got a machine in, though, and it seems like the buttons might be just a little closer together, but it's difficult to tell without using a ruler. The height is different as well, so I can't say for sure what's different, if anything. I also think I heard that the arcade spacing may have been changed between versions. Regardless, you should be fine with either spacing. It's not terribly different, and you'll adjust either way. |
