What FF Wheel is best for me?

Okay, I'm thinking of getting an FF wheel really soon, I have enough money
($150) and I really want one. For people that have an FF wheel, what do you
think is the best one for me? These are the games I mostly play

GPL
Viper Racing
NFS PU
Rally Masters

I currently have an Act Labs RS and Shifter, but for the FF version, I have
to pay $20 extra for an adapter cartridge so I can use my old Shifter with
the Force RS, plus $15 s/h. It's nice for Viper Racing, but I don't play
RC2K and SCGT that much anymore and I don't even have N3. It's not that big
of a deal, real cool when I got it, but now I don't even think about it, and
it's a pain for F1 games and other games that don't support it, especially
RM in manuel mode because I'm then practicly driving with one hand. Though,
I LOVE Act Labs tech support, and I know my wheel will be okay forever. What
I was very seriously looking at was the MS FF Wheel. It has nice paddle
shifter, I really like the feel of the wheel and where you grip it (that's
what I think is the biggest downfall in the RS, the spokes) and I've heard
the pedals are a bit better. GPL is a bit hard with the Act Labs pedals, I'm
always sliding out of the corners and loosing time, but I'm very concerned
with MS's poor Tech Support. If my motor breaks, can I atleast buy a new one
from them? I was also looking at the Logitech wheel, only 180 degree turning
radius and the pedals looked kinda crappy, and I need to look into the
Ferrari wheel more. It looks real nice and probably feels nice. Does it have
nice pedals and good Tech Support? I really have no idea what I want to buy,
the RS, the MS, or the Ferarri. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Alex

Even if it is a bit technical you got to keep your act labs, and unplug the
shifter cartrdige so you can use the paddles on the wheel...

After all what's 30 seconds work everytime you want to play if you have the
BEST wheel around ?
