Looking for comments on the 2 cheaper wheels. Which one is the one to get?
Here in Oz one is $130 and the other is $200.
    I don't really want to buy the most expensive one if there isn't much
diference between them. i want to get Logitech, because I like their gear
and I already have a Logitech FF Joystick and I want to be able to use the
same software. What do you reckon?

I've got the cheaper Wingman FF. I use it strictly with GPL. Seems to work OK.
I've had it since December, and it's still working. I thought the brake pot
was going out, but it was just some lint. It's cheap and feels cheap. The
pedals are OK. I use a recommended core.ini file for settings, and it seems to
be pretty sensitive to subtle changes in traction. As usual, I'd recommend you
get a little more than you think you can afford. You'll be happier in the long
run.

Personally i havent tried the momo wheel but if the dif is only $70 I would
recommend getting it, it is leatherwrapped and also has the paddleshifters
as supposed to large buttons on the cheaper 1, dont know of any other
differences, but those are good enough for me if I was in the market for 1,
unfortunately I allready have the cheaper 1 and it may be tough to convince
the wife that i need a new wheel since this 1 is only a few mth's old

At $200 Australian there's no way it's the Momo wheel.
The cheapest price I have seen the Momo at is $400. Most stores are
selling them at around $450.

The two wheels Stephen mentions, I'm guessing the cheaper one is not
FF as it appears Logitech only make 3 wheels for the PC, shown with
Australian retail prices.

WingMan Formula GP $129.95
WingMan Formula Force GP $199.95
MOMO Force $499

Ah yes you may be correct there I have no clue about that. All I know is
that here in Canada you can pick up the momo for $250CAD, the Formula force
GP for $125-149 and the formula gp is around $79,

I have the MOMO force feedback wheel as well as the original Wingman Force
(not the force GP).
The ff in the momo is *much* stronger than the original but both wheels are
excellent.  Compared to
either the GP wheels are just light paperweights.  The ff motor in the GP is
not as good as in the MOMO
and it is a very close call as to whether the original force cable system is
as good or better than the MOMO.
I think they're pretty even actually (give similar results even though they
use different systems).

I see at E3 Logitech have announced a *** wheel version of the MOMO.
Might be worth the wait
as I do find the MOMO is not as comfortable (it's thicker) as the original
Force (***).
