So with this extra money to burn and SFIV's release looming in the not so distant future, i started looking at arcade sticks.

I've been looking through play-asia and a crazy part of me wants to buy this one:

I've been nerding out about it for months, wanting to get one, but haven't had the money to do so until now.

However, given the fact that this stick costs $129 USD for me to import to australia + postage, am i being too rash?

Keep in mind that EB games in australia are not offering the SFIV sticks or pads at all. So i feel i need (ok want... yeah yeah), something.

Does anyone have any opinion's on good alternative sticks along the lines of this one, or perhaps you have had experiences with this particular stick and can provide some insight.

I just didn't want to get something cheap like a EX2/3 or a FS3, i wanted to make a good investment on this.

Anyway i'll stop rambling.

Thoughts?
