Your right, it is sweet. I was actually seriously considering it even though it doesn't have force feedback until I played with it at Best Buy. Damn thing's too small for my hand. My pinkie ends up being squeezed out toward the front of the stick due to the enclosed-loop design of the handle. Not only does that make it rather hard to work the pinkie trigger, but it's also rather uncomfortable. If it weren't for that one tiny flaw, I'd probably get it for the throttle alone. That throttle kicks ASS. The only one I've ever seen that's better is on the Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar, but that's a $300 stick, and I'm not payin' that much!
