Fruit machine buttons instead of arcade buttons

I got back from the local arcade last weekend and suddenly thought... wouldn't the arcade mods that some people are doing be better if they used Fruit Machine buttons instead?

Check out some of these badboys:

The advantage of these buttons is that you can get all sorts of shapes and sizes, they're usually bigger, you can often insert your own written text underneath them and they have LED's built into them. The only problem is that they're a bit too deep for most cases... wouldn't be a problem if the case was bigger though.

Here's some more links for suppliers in the UK/US:

Anyone tried anything like this before?
