SNK sure did make a lot of them.

There's multiple board models that share the same plastic/metal shell and board size, only one of each board style is being considered here.

MV1:

MV-1F / MV-1FT / MV-1FS:

Gotta be the MV-2F for the onboard memory card reader, audio jacks, sturdy design, metal top and great compatibility.

MV2F for CMVS, MV4 for wood cabs, MV1B for candies. All the boards have their pros and cons but they're all great in their own way. For example the MV1 can do it all, MC, Controller ports, credit lcd, stereo jack, headphone jack. It's bulky as hell but a great board nonetheless.

I've got a consolized 1FZ and I love it. Great for an MVS newbie like me as tasks like opening it up and swapping out the Unibios is dead simple as it's socketed rather than soldered.

It also looks aestheticly pleaseing as it doesn't dwarf the other consoles on the shelf.

Having said that, nothing would be better than a 4-slot cab in the room anyways so surely the correct answer has to be the MV4.

The MV-6, just because having six games on tap seems amazing. One day I'll have a cabinet, just need to buy a house first

MV1F and the 2 slut. 1F for Jamma and ease, 2 slut for it being still only 1 layer.

MV-4FT, it's very architectural and has that shabby David Fincher look. I also feel the cipher 4 is an SNK icon, i.e. 4 credits, the 4th difficulty (a.k.a. MVS), Viewpoint's level 4 boss etc. etc.

Ugh, you can make it to lvl 4 on VP?
