Saw one today in person at CompUSA -- the wheel and paddles are VERY
nice, and the pedals seem like a HUGE improvement over the previous
Logitech pedals. The non-FF version is $49, and for this price, it
could be a real bargain.

I saw one of the FF versions of this at CompUSA yesterday for $100, and
having just turfed my last T2 spring, I'm considering this wheel. However,
in anticipation of new stock (I guess) Best Buy has the old wingman going
for only $20 more. The pedals on the new one (from the picture on the
unopened box) look like a vast improvement, but the wheel performance is I
believe far more important. Has anyone tried one of the new ones yet? Any
input would be appreciated.
A friend of mine just got the new LWFF wheel. The new wheel impresses me as
being cheaper construction. It's a small unit, even comes in a smaller box
than it's predecesor. They ditched the rubber coated wheel for all plastic,
which makes it feel cheap. They also traded the old cable driven system to
gear driven FF. It seems quite smooth, though the forces weren't real
strong when I tried it. Since then, my friend said he changed the FF to
over 100% power, which improved it. As you mentioned, the pedals have more
of a conventional pivot action, where the old pedals had a kinda vertical up
& down action. Still pretty lightweight pedal unit, though, so they tend to
move around a little.

Indeed, changing the cables with gears doesn't sound like long-livety
or quality improvement... and the change from rubber to plastic also
doesn't sound very promising. Think I'll pick up an extra LWFF wheel
old style before they're out of stock...
