300 is hardly an obscene amount for a proper HOTAS with rudder pedals setup. It's easy to spend way more than that - esp for a pc setup considering all the options.

Also, the split throttle isn't useless - you can map one of them for flaps, prop pitch, and whatever else you feel like mapping it too.

If you've ever flown something like CH products fighter stick with rudder pedals on IL2 and then used a cheap 40 dollar joystick to fly - you'd know that it costs more than 40 bucks to get a decent flight control setup. It's easily the difference between shooting someone down and getting shot down when you don't have the extra precision and control.
