Some key differences:
The TM wheel uses I-Force 2.0 via Serial port, or eventually USB.
MS wheel uses Similar tech, but via Midi port on the Soundcard- there is known
to be a number of sound cards which have extreme problems getting this to
work, or even at all.
TM Wheel has a gear lever, as well as flippers.
I think from memory, there are switches behind the wheel, but not flippers on
the MS wheel (correct me if i am wrong)
Both have a number of buttons on the centre of the wheel itself. 4 in each
case?
Price is going to be abvout the same ballpark for either wheel. I guess you
just have to decide which feature set is better for you.

There are paddles (switches) behind the steering wheel on the MS wheel.
Six on the front of the MS wheel.

MS is slated to release a USB version...but I haven't seen it yet. In fact,
all the USB versions of controllers are slow in coming. I'm interested in
the Saitek Cyborg series (supposed to be available in gameport and usb) but
only the gameport versions are in stores. I don't want to buy another
gameport device. Ahhhh, to be free of my Joyswitch and to have all the
controllers plug and play out of the box....someday.
This is what I LOVE best about it because TM is SMART enough to retain a
sequential shifter like real CART champ cars have. I also know that the pedals
will have a solid design for a right-foot braker like myself because I love how
well my T2 suits my style!
God bless,
