I can't decide which to buy: Saitek pro flight yoke with three-level throttle, or CH products flight sim yoke. I've heard good things and bad things about each one, and I'd prefer to spend $100-$130.

I can only say this I have used CH products for many years flying IL2 fighterstick prothrottle and Pro pedals they are very well built rugged and dependable I am still using them after six years of combat and they work fine. When I do switch to a yoke for FSX it will be from CH products. The CH yoke can be found at www.Provantage.com for 99usd and if you happen to be on the east coast their shipping is lightning fast.

I have had both and I have to say I prefer the Saitek set up. The throttle quadrant from Saitek has more of an aircraft feel to it than the afterthought on the CH yoke. The same goes for the switching gear on the Saitek yoke also more of an aircraft feel than the CH yoke. CH buttons and switches are always so big and clumsy.
