I do prefer the front loading as it means I don't have huge NES carts sticking up vertically.
I do, too, and it's not from nostalgia, either. I think that the shape of the NES cart lends itself to being horizontally loaded. I also like having it covered by the lid.

I would love my new connector to loosen up a bit, though. Thing is tiiiight.
They loosen up with use. I've had mine a year and a half and it holds the games snugly. Rather have that than a game that flops around inside.

At any rate, I still need to replace my connector with the updated one. Then see if Ducktales and Double Dragon work, since mine have the green stripe boards. I have been happy with the AVS otherwise.
Funny thing, for the longest time my only green strip game was Tetris. I replaced the connector and did the plastic mod (my AVS is from the very first batch) and got Tetris to work fine. Three of the next four games I bought had the green strip. I think the gods of gaming were looking out for me.
