It's obvious that you're a smart guy, if you're going to pretend to be naive there's no point in continuing this derail.

My wife has nothing to do with it, but property taxes on my California mortgage coming up do have me thinking twice about an immediate purchase. They're pricey enough without the 'extras' that I would consider necessary (primarily the round restrictor and stiffer spring, but the wiring harness might also be a PITA to not have). I still think I'll get them, but I might wait a bit longer to see how things settle first. If I don't get impatient. :P

Yeah, that's the thing with me... If I get what I really want from a looks perspective (blue ball top), I'll end up paying a fortune and have two extra springs, one extra restrictor, one extra shaft, and one extra shaft ball. And it sounds like from a functional perspective, the stiffer spring and round restrictor are a must for those mostly playing 8-way games. Thus, I've been reluctant to jump in. And I'm not sure what to do about player 2! On most 2-joystick games, the second joystick is almost always a plain 8-way (yes, I hear you all chanting "Battlezone" and "Assault"), so that stick would probably never need analog or digital restriction capability... but who wants mismatched sticks? Do I want to pay all that with all the extras just to make them match?

If you don't intend to use the built-in encoder for more buttons, then I think it would be really hard to justify such an expensive joystick.
