which joystick?

[milo29k]

Currently considering either the saitek cyborg evo or the more wallet damaging x52 flight system. I dont own many flight sims but im dieing to get some control for X2 and will probably get combat flight sims later on.
Does the X52 have forcefeedback? and do you think the price diff of 30 odd quid is justified between the two? Forcefeedback would be preferable but would consider otherwise depending on balance of merit. Any suggestions and or answers would be much appreciated.

Thanks for replying phoenix. The cyborg rumble is a nice budget model, but I think im gonna go with the evo FF.
The X52 is nice but too pricey, and the lcd on the rudder is a bit grand (bangles and baubles) and it doesnt have ff.
As for usb/non usb is there any significant differences?

I have the predecessor to the X52, the X45. While it's a great value, I'd actually tell you to stay away from it. The manufacturing isn't the highest quality, and the stick soon became hard to use. The top of the line is the Cougar HOTAS...but that's out of most people's budget for this type of item (~$300).
