I guess my real question is why would you use VGA (d-sub 15) for all your consoles when SCART (which carries audio along with RGBS in a SINGLE cable) is the defacto standard for 240p retro gaming (I'm assuming most of your consoles are older 240p ones)? That pretty much guarantees you're going to need a whole bunch of breakout cables and adapters strung together when you start to incorporate converters/transcoders (and even scalers if you're not already using those for your flatscreen) into your setup. This is exactly what you've said you don't want, and now want to get rid of.
Second to that, with a ton of people using Extron Crosspoint switchers, is BNC's for RGBS + separate audio which can likewise create it's own adapter issues since the entire industry is skewed towards SCART connectors.
So that being said, I guess I really can't comment on your setup as I don't know all the in and out intricacies of it. I hope one of the converters will take RGBS over a d-sub15 VGA plug (which isn't standard for many consumer devices) which will then let you convert that signal to YPbPr for your consumer TV – that would certainly be the easiest way to go. Maybe an arcade oriented converter (think somebody posted something similar to those) would also be an option as those guys are all about RGBS of course. **EDIT** - BazookaBen just posted that AA does take RGBS so I hope this works for you - I'll still leave the below just in case:
Anyway, don't know if the following will help you but just in case I can tell you how I do it - and it STILL involves adapters: everything is run through BNC connectors through my 32x32 Extron Crosspoint switcher. RGBS goes straight into it, and it uses a separate connector for audio. Those 5x RGBHV BNC's are extremely flexible letting me use Composite, S-Video, RGBS, RGsB, YPbPr, and VGA/RGBHV of course (I use VGA to 5x BNC dongles for RGBHV systems like Dreamcast, my OG Xbox, and Xbox 360). With the easy availability of VGA to BNC breakout dongles and cables this is essentially a VGA switch just like you have (which just happens to use BNC connectors instead).
To get that RGBS signal to YPbPr I use the most easily (and currently produced) converter which is the $75 Shinybow SB-2840 – which happens to have a SCART plug on the input side (because SCART, for consumer items using RGBS, is again the defacto standard world-wide). Besides some of the bare-board arcade devices (which I didn't want), off the top of my head I really don't know of another device which takes RGBS and converts it to YPbPr (besides the Retrotek which has had problems and doesn't do 480p+).
