PS3 Joysticks

[DocGonzo101]

Hi guys, I'm new to these boards so bear with me.

I currently have the Logitech 3d force pro which I use to use on IL-2 for pc, it worked fine for me on there but its the only stick i ever used and I really don't know how good/bad it is since its the only one i used. And now over time its kinda worn out on me even with the force feedback on it has a big dead zone i guess you would call it, so now im looking for a new stick.

So I'm planning on upgrading once i start playing B.O.P, and figure ill get a Saitek joystick but am a little confused with my options, I see the one called X-52, and another one just called Saitek joystick (i guess these are the HOTAS models), they both look the same, just different colors, and am wondering if there's a big difference between the two besides the price.

So if someone can tell me the main differences between the 2 it would greatly be appreciated. If anyone knows the answer off the top of their heads, the cheaper stick is silver in color, and the more expensive is all black. The only difference i see in description is one is more programmable.

I cant figure out how to attach pictures here, so here are the links, and sorry for the long post!
