Regardless of your choice they all share a common denominator. PLASTIC. Of the three hands down the Momo (even the racing version but preferably the force). Durability of the Racing version is questionable. My original FF wheel is a Momo racing but it lost the right paddle shifter within 2 weeks. It was a design flaw that may have been corrected on later prod runs. Soon after I picked up a couple Force's so the racing's durability was a mute point for me. If you can find one Ive heard (yes you Larry <g>) Micrsofts FF wheel is pretty good with above avg pedals and on clearance around $40. The FF in NR2003 IMO is pretty sad compared to other racing sims (F1C comes to mind) but it's still ok so long as you turn down the forces enough to prevent the notchy feeling. If you want durability then you need to go to a metal wheel/pedal set. TSW, ECCI. BRD.

Momo (red) Never had a prob w/ mine, going on 2-3 yrs now. ive owned 2 TM wheels, nowhere near the quality & feel of the Momo.

The Thrustmaster Pro Digital SUCKS, very difficult to keep calibrated correctly and mine has a bad dead spot. You usually can mess around with it and get it working the problem is it doesn't stay that way, always having to mess with it. I have owned two Thrustmaster Wheel and they were both cheap junk in my opinion.

You know, It's a shame! At one time Thrustmaster was the BEST for all PC input devices. Heck I still have my 1st ever wheel and peddles (all anodized aluminum housings). It's gotta be at least 10 years old! But ever since Guillemot took over the operation their quality of Hardware and Support just SUCKS!!! If your a serious gamer never buy their CRAP! Period!

All anodized Pete? I have an original TM Formula T1 (initial test run) and it had a blue anodized plate but the rest was plastic. I still think the roller wheel pedal idea worked very well :) I also have a TM Cougar hotas and it's pretty impressive to me although quite a few bashed its stiff springs. Like you I'd never buy another TM Wheel unless they make something outta this world which I doubt will ever happen.
