Thanks for the feedback so far.

I've done some research myself, and it turns out that although FF joysticks are nice, they're not as accurate as non-FF joysticks. These usually have a spring, to make sure the stick goes back to center, whereas FF joysticks do not have this. This can be a problem during games, naturally. People do report that they get used to it, so it shouldn't be a permanent problem.

Also, when checking Amazon for the Logitech FF joystick, a lot of people complained about the thing dying too quickly. This may be a case of people only posting with complaints, and the happy majority never speaking up, but still... it makes you wonder.
