Why do you think I say it's a poor comparison. You'd rather compare a stick acting as an 8 way with another stick acting as an 8 way......neither of which happen to be an 8 way.

The software stuff........comparable. The joystick stuff, not so much. Find your favorite 8 way/4 way/etcetera and compare each stick to that instead. It's what you'll naturally do when you pop a quarter in the first time to play and ultimately, it's what will make you like or dislike a stick. Installation, software, ease of adjustment.........all nice things to have, but if the stick doesn't act like your expectations you or your friends will eventually want to replace it. It doesn't matter how convenient that stick is, if it doesn't meet you and your companions expectation you'll either stop playing the machine or get a new stick that is maybe less convenient.

Nobody is going to play this stick and compare the feel to either the 49way/analog (whichever you don't get).  Listen to what I'm saying and save yourself a lot of headache.

Why would you compare these to an 8 way???? That is NOT the point. It is understood that these sticks WILL NOT act the same as the comparative traditional stick. You just said yourself above that each stick is imitating an 8-way. Ummm...that looks like a pretty good example of a comparative analysis. Which one simulates an 8-way the best. Things like throw, spring stiffness, software effectiveness...all of these are the criteria that determine which stick best simulates (insert traditional stick of choice here) the best.
