Can anyone suggest a good force feedback joystick or know of a site that has a comparison of some recent joysticks??

I bought Comanche 4 and haven't played it yet, but I want a good force feedback joystick to use with it. I can get the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro for $20 after rebate, but I heard that the Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 is a lot better, but its almost $100.

Any others that I should consider?

Thanks

I'm using the old Wingman Force, very nice stick, but definitely dated (this thing is huge!!!). I was considering getting the new version, the Wingman Force 3D, the one Adul linked to above, as it has some new features. I was using it for MPBT 3025, and the new one has an additional feature that allows you to twist L-R using the joystick itself. I had to use 2 buttons to twist with my old joystick. It might be a bit more sensitive with the centering spring, my old Wingman Force was like arm-wrestling a 5 year old if you didn't soften up the centering spring. Either the MS Sidewinder 2 or the new Logitech should be just fine. The Logitech is currently going for $60 with a $10 MIR just about everywhere.
