I like my Suncom gear. I have the Talon stick, SFS throttle and a TM elite pedals setup.

Many would argue that the best gear is still the old Thrustmaster TQS throttle and F-22 stick. The Saitek X-36 also has many supporters. The TM stuff has been out of production for over a year; but the new trademark owner, Guillamot, plans to release new, upgraded, USB TM gear in Mar. or Apr., last I heard.

Sorry I haven't their URL. Bottom line is that at this point I would not purchase top of the line HOTAS until I got a look at the new TM stuff.

Bang for the buck, Saitek X36 Digital USB. Very user friendly.

I'm using the X36. Although I would like to have more of a replica of the FA18 which looks like the suncom does a good job at this.

Suncom is appealing but seems that it will only hold 4 profiles. I bought the X36 a couple of weeks ago. Good product, materials are solid, easy to program, apparently unlimited profiles. Downside, some of the units (mine included) have a problem with the throttle going all the way to 100% (mine maxed out at 97%) there is a fix on Saitekhelp.com site though I haven't tried it yet. I'm enjoying the stick to much to tinker beyond the profiles. I was also too impatient to wait until march for the new rig mentioned above.
