X52 vs X52 pro

[Jebus]

So I have used the x 52 over the past several years, and loved it.  Just recently I have ran across some troubles with the X52.  No matter what I do I can not calibrate the joystick.  So my Fiancee told me she would buy me a new joystick for Christmas.  Is the X52 pro better built then the old x52 (wont lose calibration, buttons dont stick)?


And can my old SST file that I use for Aces High be used for the X52 pro if I decide to get one?

I would hate to start over that SST file took a couple hours to get right and comfortable.

Thanks

jebus , I too had a X52 that I bought 3 yrs ago , it's still works fine , but some of the switches are starting to go bad , and of course the sensitivity
was an issue too ( spring didnt have enough tension ) I have been following the prices for both CH and Saitek bundles on Amazon , Ive read the forums
for both products and decided to go with the X52 pro , rudder pedals & panel switch box for under $350. The spring has been strengthened to where
theres no play in the stick , that was a big thing with me . Alot of peeps are saying theres a major improvement between the old 52 and the pro , downside ->
the drivers and profile for your old stick won't work with the Pro ..
