Act Labs force wheel?

Damnit I need a wheel... now I'm thinking about this force rs wheel... what
are the pros and cons?
I bought an MS FF wheel but returned it because i was afraid it was going to
fall apart on me, and i didnt really like the pedals. I mainly will play
GPL.... is the actlabs wheel a good idea or should i get a tsw or src?? the
problem with them is that they are so damned expensive... also isnt the act
labs only single axis pedals? will that be a big problem for GPL???

I've got an ActLabs Force RS. It is of solid construction and I don't think
it will fall apart any time soon. It works very well in sims like SCGT but I
find the pedals don't have enough movement for me in GPL. For GPL I use the
Force RS wheel and the pedals from my TSW. Both of these can be active on
your computer at the same time provided you get the USB version of the Force
RS. Also, the latest drivers from ActLabs allow you to choose single axis or
split axis pedals. Works great!
