The general consensus I can scope out is Logitech G29/920 is better quality/durability than Thrustmaster TMX/T150.
I'm very tempted but will prly wait patiently for another ~$200'ish deal on a Logitech set.

Regarding the force feedback/"steering feel" I believe Logitech is gears only and Thrustmaster is gears + belt, where the belt adds more realistic feeling. However, I saw some Youtube vids of ppl whose Thrustmaster wheels had some issues and broke.
If this were a major national B&M retailer like Walmart, Best Buy, Costco, or even Amazon, I might have more confidence, but from my understanding B&H is very difficult with returns, restocking fees, etc. so I don't wanna risk it.
This model, being an entry level system, at this price, is the best deal around, and I would jump on it.
Thrustmaster's steering feedback is better than the same class competition (Logitech G25/G920)
The con's are the wheel quality feels cheaper than the Logitech units. For me, I'd go with the better feedback. Also, the Logitech units are running at about $250 currently and so much more expensive.
Being entry level units, the foot pedals for both this and Logitech units are all just "meh", can't expect too much. Again, this is a great unit for entry level. (Doin't bother with those cheaper than $100 unit toys)
The next level up racing wheel will run you $300~$500 range, and then higher ranger will be $800~ $several thousand.
Best Buy current BF deal has this at $191, a lot of places even higher or out of stock.

Consensus from experts was to get T150/TMX PRO instead, $50-70 price difference for the better pedal set (TP3A) on the PRO models.
