DO NOT get a pad with a metal bar. They are known to snap and tip over. I just recently got the Redoctane metal pad and it is awesome. The Cobalt Flux is all level so you cant tell where the arrows are. I would go with the Redoctane pad for the best home arcade experiance. PS: This post should be put in the metal pad sticky because it is mostly about the type of pad than game.
