I've Not tried the Logitech pedals. My experience with short travel pedals
came in the form of the Digital edge f1 compact ones. (***y awful things
BTW) I was almost glad when I finally broke them. Once they were installed
in the bin, I was immediately 2 secs faster.

And I have to disagree with you John. As a professional driving instructor,
I often have to deal with customers wanting to learn how to use heel and toe
techniques using their own vehicles (Advanced drivers here I hasten to
add).. Some cars are perfect for this and others are nigh on impossible in
terms of spacing, brake travel and relative heights. I get a new  pupil
instructon car every six months. (Always the same model) learner drivers
always complain that the new car feels totally different and many have
trouble coming to terms with differences in brake tension, clutch action
etc.

Keith,
comparing the different wheels before purchase, for me the Logi had
the smallest disadvantages (only pedals), so I bought it. There is no
wheel on the market, which has my fully appreciation.

It's better being able to get used to short pedal throw than to wrong
(ridiculous) FF or missing split axis.

    I'm also in the process of trying to upgrade/replace my aging T2. And
not wanting another Thrustmaster product,have narrowed my choices down to a
TSW2 (basic model) for $220 plus $25 for shipping,and the Logitech Wingman
Formula FF USB for $185( no shipping as I can get it locally).

    Right now I'm really leaning towards the TSW2.

Are you in the US, Joel? You can get the Logitech for under $120
shipped. (www.buy.com)
I know there is a lot of ***ing about buy.com, but I had my wheel in
four days.

You were luckier than me Tim, I wish I could have gotten my wheel in 4
days from buy.com, it would have saved me a whole lotta ***ing :-)

buy.com is not your only choice for low $ on this wheel
(I was one of those ***ing about them) after I cancelled
my backordered Logitech from buy.com (they don't expect a new
shipment until end of June)
I got my new Logitech from compusanet.com in 2 days for
$119 + 2 day shipping = $131 total.

Nice wheel so far.

Seeyas on the track.
