I don't know how they'll compare for you, but I (and friends) found them somewhat disorienting at first. Once you are used to them, they are fine and they can be tweaked a little too. The 4/8 switch and ball-top features sealed it for me and I'm happy with them.

Just to elaborate you can stretch the springs to stiffen them up a tad.  This and reversing the restrictor plate to lessen the travel slightly make the stick feel quite a bit different.  I really like these sticks.

I still haven't tried that but always planned to. How do you do it? Do you have to disassemble the whole stick?

I bent out the switch levers (so they are closer to bottom of the stick). That helped make it a little less sloppy feeling. But that's as far as I've gone with it so far.

It's pretty easy, I think you can do it with the stick in situe.  You need to remove an e-clip and then take out some other parts.  The spring just comes out.  Makes some noticable difference...

Sinner:
I have 2 T-sticks and 2 T-stick plusses in my CP...at first they were different to play with (not difficult, just weird), because of the short throw, but I wouldn't trade them in for anything now...it's really nice to be able to switch to 4/8 way from the top of the CP...
I have some optical joys, but I have never connected them, so I can't comment on them...
I also have some Supers, but since I can't switch them from the top of the CP, I decided to go with the TS+...
Oh, I also have an X-Arcade, and I liked the sticks, when I hadn't played with actual arcade controls, but now that I have the other options, I can see a difference...
