as usual... you talking a lot without any sense.
it is not gameplay preferences
 it is not problem "copy" or "original".
 it is problem "act"  or "not act"

what do you want to prove? this is still china crap for 2$ and change name on spitfire will not alter him to JLF or halfJLF

probably... they earlier played on brake from roundabout

spitfire tuned?
OK fine!  I exchange all bad thing for correct (from JLF)
spitfire for 8$
 and tune kit:
omron PCB micro 12$
bearning 1$
shaft 3$
centring washer 1$

what I get? 
- tuned stick for 25$
now I get JLF?
- no! work better but still work strange

I can bay JLF for 24$

Except that all of that isn't necessary.  If the major complaint is a loose feel, the heavier switches I installed took care of that very nicely.  They were not expensive.

This is a basic stick, that many seem to like.  It's not a JLF, regardless of the comparisons being made, and if you want a JLF, you should simply buy one.  It's much easier than trying to convert a different stick to one.

Kowal, where is the love, our jlfs are less expensive than fa :)

I think the take away message is that this is about personal preference.

If anyone cares to do the force calculations you will find 1-2 lbs of force is insignificant when you consider the forces seen during active game play.
