Atari cabaret question

For me, the width doesn't match the height nor does the monitor angle match the cabinet profile. It just looks cobbled together by some half-wit backyard Fuck.
I like the cabaret cabinet, but prefer to see marquees on my cabinets. Something like the fold up marquee on Mappy and Jr. Pac-Man, but shorter. Even a non-backlit would be something. I was also disappointed Rolling Thunder's marquee isn't backlit (I've considered fixing that on my RT).

I know 15" B&W vectors were Atari's cabaret standard but did any games ever come with a 15" color monitor? That would counteract the too-small look of a 13"

Don't think there were any official Atari color games of that size, like the Missile Command cabarets have a 14" Sanyo. But there was this custom Liberator build that someone did where I think they used a 15" monitor in the AD/Battlezone type cabinet.

 
Here's the Gravitar cabaret prototype cabinet. Designed to accommodate a horizontal 19" vector monitor (Presumably a 6100). Its a little wider than a Tempest/Centipede cabaret.

Someone was going to repro the cab after the original plans surfaced. Don't know if that project ever came to anything.

Yeah, that was a local dude. He also had me build him an empty Nintendo cabaret cabinet. At first he made it into a Mario Brothers cabaret, then converted it to a DKjr cabaret. But sadly, as with the Gravitar, I never did see any finished pictures of the Jr. cabaret. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him post in quite a while.
