I tested the Logitech wheel today and I didnt like it, the wheel was good
but I just hated the pedals, there was no feeling.
I think I shall have my Thrustmaster Nascar until I find a Guillemot Ferrari
FF wheel somewhere.
Here in Sweden I have not seen it.

The nonforcefeedback wheel is very good especially the pedals if you like
them with a long "throw"

Don't give up on it yet. You can use your Thrustmaster pedals along
with the LWFF Wheel. Go to http://www.simracingmag.com Eric has
instructions on how to do it there.

     Being a Ferrari die-hard fan, I tried the Ferrari wheel.  I
didn't like the thin / small shift paddles.  Felt like they would
break easily.  I also did not like the foot pedals at all.  They have
a pivot point on the upper part of each pedal where the pedal joins
the brake / accellerator shaft.  It gave me much less felling than I
was used to with my Nascar Pro wheel / pedals.
     I have since purchased a LWFF and really like it.  Seems to be of
higher quality.  While the pedals aren't as good as I would have
liked, they give me much better feel than the Ferrari ones.  (I may
wire up my CH ProPedals to the wheel.)

After seeing so many comments about the LWFF pedals being poor, and
looking at them in the stores, I didn't think I would like them.  But
after using them for a while, I find I do like them.  To me, one of the
most important issues is the pivot point of pedals.  Some have pivots
that are so far removed from where my heel is, that I feel like I'm
holding my whole leg up in mid-air.  The LWFF pedals don't cause me
that problem -- I can keep my heel planted on the base.  I no longer
have any intention of bothering to wire in some other pedal unit.

Yes, that was my exact problem with the Ferrari wheel's pedals.  They
actually have two pivot points per pedal.  I didn't think I would like
the pedals when I first saw them many months ago.  But they actually
like them now that I've tried them out.  I will miss that Ferrari
horse prancing on my steering wheel's hub though.  Guess I'll order a
stick from Speedgear for my LWFF's hub.
