Hi.

Do you have (some) spare time? If you do, make your own joystick!

My squadmate is currently working on his own stick.. I have made my own rudder pedals and thinking of making a stick too when the TM Cougar dies. Probably going to recycle lots of parts from it.

It really isn't that hard, especially with things like the Bodnar chip (courtesy of Leo Bodnar http://www.leobodnar.com/). There's lot's of info and projects about this stuff available with instructions to make your own.

And the main seller is the price. You can make a really good system with less than 50 euros. Assuming you have the tools .. For example the parts for my rudder pedals totaled under 20 euros.
