I agree 100% with the above. The Ctail is really unplayable by all
measurements.

Where does Clay's Williams Multi kit with your control panel come in on that
list?

Just curious as that's what I have.

well i have built many upright mw and id still take that panel layout
over the mini and the upright.

although i think the mini looks the coolest. thats why i still own one.

I have owned approx 8 Robo uprights and three cabarets and a NIB
cabaret, (still have not opened it yet) and I think the cabaret play is
a little better because you are looking down at it, seems to be an
easier flow that way. Todd

i guess i should have clarified my positions

the upright has the biggest monitor and slightly wider spaced joystick

the cabaret does look down moreso than the upright, but the smaller
monitor will put stress on any really good players eyes.

the cocktails controls just arent ideal for me

I find that the Cabaret game play appears to be a bit slower. I think
that it is because the CPU and everything electical is matched bewteen
the 19" and the 13" models, however, the time rate of travel is slower
on the cabaret. This is because in the limit as the monitor dimensions
get smaller, the same distance over which the characters travel is
smaller but the time component remains constant...Thus, the perception
is one of a slower game.

conversely, as the monitor gets bigger the physical travel distance of
a character from point A to B increases in relative proportion but the
time to travel from A to B remains constant.

Distance = Velocity*time (m = (m/s) x s)

or

Velocity = Distance/Time

Thus as Distance increases, Velocity increases given a fixed Time
interval.

I hope that I said that right...

Cheers

What???

Surprisingly the cabaret is better for taller people, because of the angle
of the monitor when you look down at it you can stand straight up. On the
upright I have to either sit on a stool or hunch over to look straight on at
the screen.

At 186,000 miles/second or 300,000km/second I don't think the size of
the screen really matters much...
