Opinions on Sanwa JLF Cherry Mod Joysticks

[Moo2wo]

Hi there,
I'm looking at some Sanwa JLF cherry switch mod joysticks on Paradise Arcade Shop to replace some 8-way Wicos in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Do you guys think this stick would be a good replacement?  It seems like they're the only brand that offers purple ball tops, and I want this control panel to be as accurate as possible.  I've only had experience using HAPP parts in the past.  I've read a lot of stuff about how sensitive the Sanwas are, but for a beat-em-up like TMNT, do you think they'll be alright?  I only intend to play games similar to TMNT in this cabinet (primarily Turtles in Time and The Simpsons).
Thanks for your time!

The JLFs are smaller and have a much, much lighter spring.  I don't think how light the spring is can be expressed.  You just have to experience it.
Take the spring out of a pen, hold it at the bottom, and push it over at the top.  It's kinda like that. 
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be happy with them using the original springs.
IMO, the 6lb springs that paradise sells make it feel like a beat 'em up stick, but you may want to order a set of the 4lb springs too in case the 6lb ones are too heavy for you.

Personally, I wouldn't fork over the money for 4 JLFs for a beat 'em up cab.
The ball tops will work on cheaper sticks like the zippy.

I haven't used those though, so can't comment on the feel.

If you need ball tops, I would probably go Zippyy, you just don't need the precision of a JLF for TMNT

However, if you are just looking for a joystick, for the quality and feel, the IL sticks are really your best choice
