Speaking from experience I like my g940 pedals, I did have the ch pedals but I felt they sat too flat for my preference. The real deal is do you want to upgrade everything or just your pedals. I can't give you any opinion on the saiteck pedals so the best idea is to check out what people say here.

Saitek are the only ones i have had  but i do know a few who have switched to them from ch because of the more comfortable layout,,, I like mine just fine!

The saitek pedals are wider. The tensioner in the middle doesn't really give that much resistance. I'm looking to mod mine with springs later on. Haven't used the CH set yet but they don't look very comfortable.

Thanks guys. Was thinking CH or Saitek. Simpeds do look good.

I have both ch and saitek pedals in my simulator frames. I prefer saitek due to the size and separation distance between the pedals.

I have CH pedals it cannot be that hard to mod footrests on them :old:
I have a set of saitek pedals as well they are not as smooth as CH pedals yet they are better spaced.

I like the Thrustmasters you do have to mod them for brakes though but its an easy mod.

I broke my saitek pedals 3 months after I got them.

It started with the rollers under each pedal jumping off the tracks.  Exchanged them for 2nd set and it happened again a few months later.

Finally, I just opened the box up and re-engineered the entire set using the Saitek guts.  The pedals and base I made on my lathe/mill and used some storm door wind chain for resistance.
