Flight stick advice

Basically looking to get a reasonably cheap stick for some combat flight simulators and was looking at this:

I can't find any reviews for it though, so I was hoping someone could give me some advice on flight sticks. Would this be adequate or would I be better trying to get hold of a second hand X45 or X52?

I have got my wii balance board working quite well as rudder pedals, just need a nice feeling stick with adequate controls for other functions.

Go for the X52 and if possible the pro stick and throttle system, you wont regret it and it's miles better than the other two.

+1 for the X52... Great quality, great feel and a nice set up.

Another vote for the X52. Great product.

Hmm fair enough, I suppose I will have to save for a bit as I am almost completely broke at the moment =(

I agree with the rest don't bother with a cheapie stick, it won't last and won't be effective.

I thought the standard X52 was discontinued although a few available on a popular auction site.
