Scott,
the ecc system is 459 usd, and worth every penny IMHO. i've had it for
two months and it is actually smoother than the day i got it. it feels
great, with a thick, suede covered wheel, four fire buttons (for gear
shifting etc) on the wheel spokes, and the unit is heavy enough to not
need clamping. the pedals are metal, in a metal box with a non stick,
pad. with icr it is almost plug and play (you have to set the controls
in the game options/controls/configure screen just like any other
controller).
also i have had superb service from ecc, including tips on general
joystick equipment, some technical info, and an unsolicited
refund on excess handling charged BY THE SHIPPING COMPANY!
the unit itself looks good, handles even better, and just makes you feel
like you're behind the wheel of a very quick racing machine. as you may
have noticed, i love this bit of kit!
brian
