Compared to the standard Arcade1Up machines, these versions are less expensive for several reasons. Firstly, the Deluxe models stand at over 5 feet tall, making them suitable for adults, whereas the Special Editions are just under 4 feet tall. To bring the height of the Special Editions up to 5 feet, you can purchase a universal Arcade1Up Riser for $59. If you don’t opt for the riser, you may need an adjustable barstool unless the cabinet is intended for children, in which case the original size would be more appropriate.
The Deluxe editions boast 17-inch displays and light-up marquees, while the Special Editions feature a logo panel instead of faux coin doors and lack the illuminated marquee. In summary, the Special Edition offers smaller screens and missing out on the lit marquee compared to the Deluxe edition.
