60-1 conversion - jamma adapter or convert to jamma

I can not decide if I want to simply put a pac to jamma adapter in my mini pacman or if I want to convert it to jamma using a new wiring harness. I have converted using both methods in other cabinets but I am wondering if one is better than the other without considering the ease of removing the adapter to keep the cabinet original. Any thoughts?
 
Cost is about the same if you buy the adapter rather than make one yourself. An adapter makes it faster - and you can easily turn it back to original by removing it - but you won't have the wiring for buttons on the CP is add any.

If you never plan on making it a Pac again, or are selling it as a multi - then I'd just put a new harness and PS in it. Makes it more reliable for the next person...
 
One of the Pac JAMMA cabinet adapters has jumpers so you can use the start buttons as regular buttons (for fire, jump, etc)
