What's the different between an 8-way restrictor and an octagonal restrictor?

TheShanMan:
As I've suggested to you before, go with a mag stik plus (or some other 4 way stick) for 4 way games if you want a dedicated stick. The U360 would be overkill for that IMO, particularly given the price. The strength of the U360 is its flexibility, so if you have a dedicated 4 way U360, you've just eliminated its strength.

Ginsu Victim:
You really don't need a U360 for dedicated 4-way. That's a waste of a good stick. (ShanMan beat me to it)

GaryMcT:
I don't really like the feel of the microswitches in joysticks that use 'em compared to a U360.  Can you recommend 4 or 8-way sticks that are optical or otherwise that are cheaper than a U360?

GaryMcT:
Come to think of it, I did buy the microswitches from GGG that are adjustable so that you can tweak them to be quiet.  I haven't even looked yet to see if these are compatible with the JLW.  I need to do that. . . . :)

I was surprised to see that Tornado Terry's Ms. Pacman stick uses microswitches.  I figured it would be a more accurate replica of the old ones. :(

Falkentyne:
Don't the Competition (IL) sticks have very light diagonal feel, (actuator is square, but not really a restrictor) but with a nice range of center-diagonal?
