-CH Combatstick 568 USB
-Saitek Throttle Quadrant
-Saitek Rudder Pedals

I want to know if having saitek+ch would give me any trouble while mapping controls,also if anyone has any of these items or their counterparts(ch rudder pedals and throttle quadrant)please let me know what you think of it.
My budget is $300 including shipping.There are other setups in this price range as the G940 and the X-52/X65.But out of those three I dont like the looks of the x/52 and the whole idea of the force sensing on the x65 is not of my liking.As for the Logitech, the whole setup seems nice but after my experience with my current joystick and a lot of reviews of people complaining about various issues, I guess I wouldnt buy it either.

Because:
1) Price
2) Weight is to light you can kick them away as seen here at 0:20 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42J_kgH7geM

Saitek combat pedals are BIG (Huge)
149 euro (if you look for them not the official 200 euro price tag)
And a lot of metal parts.
I am not talking about the normal saitek pedals.
I am talking about this beast http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/compedals.html

The cheap prices for the combat pedals are:
http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/unsor...er-pedals.html (4 stores that have it for 150 to 160 euro. saitek official price is 199 euro)

and my favorite online hw store has them to for under 150

Weight 13.10 lbs

look at the size of it compared to the already big g25 or g27 race wheel pedals

Epic fail in size (and man parts comfort?)

Just compared the centre force / returen to centre force / precise aiming between a Saitek X45 and a original core Cougar.
Man i never released that the Cougar is that bad.
The metal feel and sturdiness always mesmerize me never paying attention to what is bad/wrong with the Cougar (only knowing from forums that the pots will spike sooner then later)

I am going for:
CH Fighterstick .More buttons/4way switched to configure then combatstick.
CH pro throttle .Not really my favorite throttle but i will just blindly believe in the precision and build quality.
CH Throttle quad .More axis to config, adds extra 2way buttons to my setup. nice for bombers and advanced engine management stuff.
CH Pedals .... Not my favorite at all, but i somehow like to stick to one brand with gear i use. and its cheap now with discount.

Thinking about buying the CH Eclipse Yoke to for bombers. But maybe my wife will think i am going totally crazy coming home with 5 CH boxes :-P

Update:
Then thinking about it again... CH pedals compared to Saitek combat pedals is only 50 euro difference at this moment.
50 euro difference is not much if we are talking about the most badly sized rudder pedals on the market today and the most awesome rudder pedals (Saitek combat pedals) on the market today.
