I've never used the MS joystick, so I can't make that comparison.

I have the CH flightstick. The "throw" (in terms of angles) is about twice that on previous joysticks I've used, this is good, you have enough movement in the stick to feel with the position of your arm how far you moved it, which is a lot better than having to depend on the (slight) change in resistance in cheaper sticks to tell you how far it moved. There isn't much resistance, but since you're not relying on it to tell you how far you moved the stick, it's not a problem, IMHO.
