thank you guys so much for all of the information.  i just ordered a saitek x52 pro so i am hoping that works out. it has to be better than my 30 dollar logitech.

Your CONS for Logitech neglected to add:

Will start to fail and have massive erratic spiking on several or all axes as early as 2-3 months into ownership. While a few RARE examples last a long time, the majority fail rapidly and regularly.

Actually, as much as I hate logitech for their poor customer service and the cluelessness of their engineering staff (and their "powers that be" for that matter) I have only heard of a rare few that experienced actual hardware problems with the G940.  And of those, 95% of them had issues with the throttle wheels spiking when the throttle was moved.  This is easily corrected by removing the throttle's base and rerouting the wires to give them more slack.

Most people I've talked with only (about 50 so far) have had few issues mechanically with the stick or its longevity.

I have had my G940 for a while and I have had no problem what so ever with it. I am sorry to hear you had problems.
I would recommend it in a heart beat.
