"Thrustmaster F/A-18C Hornet" Add-on Stick

Saw this review pop up yesterday. I think I remember someone looking forward to this... (@Kinger ?)

$230.00 USD is pretty steep, but he addresses that in his review. You can pre-order it here, releases mid-July.

I personally like the audio feedback of the button presses, but overall I'm uninterested in upgrading. However, if you're into the F/A-18 and want your joystick to match exactly, this looks pretty good.... aside from the trigger.... the trigger LOOKS as rough and "catch-y" as he claims, but I'd like to hear more than one persons opinion of how it actually feels.

I'm just glad the F16 uses the same stick as the A10C

I had initially expressed some interest in this when it first released as I equated learning the Hornet to learning the Hog where having an exact replica of the stick would just make things easier. However, I find the 18 to be much less HOTAS dependent than the Hog so there really is no need to switch over. Add to that what I feel is a RIDICULOUS asking price by TM for this and I don’t see me picking this up.
