Seriously there is always something better if you are willing to spend through the nose. The Saitek pedals are perfectly serviceable for half the price.

Thats a good price, i think i paid $250.00 about 2 years ago on Ebay. The centre dial is for adjusting tension right, but mine seems to be stuck, does it turn, do you pull it up, how is it supposed to work?

Well, eventually you have a broken model.

To answer your question:
Normally there is the centre dial and on it there are markers for "tension" printed.
Turn right (clockwise) for more tension and left (counter clockwise) for reduced tension.

Half the price not quite, currently the Vario pros are 139 euro which is $187au shipping is about $50au so about $230au all up the simpeds are excellent and at about $60au more than the Saiteks (including shipping), it is well worth saving the extra to get what is a much better set of pedals, IMHO.

The vario pro doesn't even have brakes and the optional brake extension is another 130€. I don't think you can make this comparison.
