Thrustmaster AVA Joystick base

[Widget]

Has anyone picked up one of the new Thrustmaster AVA bases, it seems to be a upgrade over the Warthog Hotas etc.
I'm looking for a flightsim stick with a bit more quality than the plastic Thrustmaster TCA and wondered if people had experience etc

I've not read anything bad about the AVA, but it has arrived at a rather difficult time for TM.
We already have high quality metal bases from VKB, Virpil and WinWing. I get the impression that there's probably not a huge amount in it, so if it's going to be from them, maybe focus on the grip options.

Additionally, the first vaguely sensibly priced force feedback base has started to arrive from Moza, with more manufacturers expecting to launch soon.
