Agreed on the 4-way vs 8-way. Anyone playing Pac Man, Ms Pac Man, Donkey Kong or other classic 4-way games will be very handicapped with an 8-way joystick without a restrictor plate. I've successfully used Ultimarc controllers that are 4/8 switchable using a restrictor plate and the controls are amazing.
Other than that people should be aware that there's no way this runs many arcade games using MAME. I've had desktop computers choke on a lot of arcade games for lack of CPU resources so I can't imagine this plays many games without lag especially since he mentions sluggishness right in the article.
