New Astro City vs. Egret 2

[max 330 megafartz]

If you have money to burn on an overpriced Egret, I recommend you to also look into getting some of the old all metal candy cabinets instead, like the Jaleco Pony II or III, Aero City, Madonna, Domy Jr. etc., over this last years of working and playing on many different types of models and brands, I have learn to appreciate the smaller 18"-25" screens, and I can say that I preffer them %100 over a blurry and oversized 27/29 inch MS8/9/29XX from newer cabs., and yes...some can argue that the space on the control panel is too narrow for 2P action, but first you have to keep in mind that if 1v1 fighting games are not your thing then this factor will not be a problem, at least for me it isn't.

you can add the SNK mv25up-0 neo cab to that list of amazing metal cabs. no plastic cab comes even close to the metal ones.

If you ever find yourself roaming around Toronto with one of your E2's in the back seat feel free to swing by.....my NAC has your name on it

I'm sure you can add on that Gunlord MVS to make it close to even somewhat...

The only problem with cabs with 25" monitors is that the chassis is a POS it doesn't matter the brand, whether be a Nanao MS8-25 F/FT/FTB/FA/FS, a Toei or a Hitachi, it seems that 25" was a problematic size to produce without issues, worst japanese monitors ever.

Sure thing. It has insertion marks making it worth next to nothing now. I would have thrown it in anyways.
