I use these HOTAS about 2-3 hours per day at work and I really like them. But I will say in the past 5 years each person in the office has had a set (about 20 sets), probably around 40-50% of the people have had the throttle stop powering up completely one day. There's no warning, just one day it'll die out of the blue and has to be replaced. Mine is still going strong though.

Just wanted to give you my experience. Despite risk of throttle issues, I like them enough that I'm considering getting a set for home at this price.

Edit: I'll add that all the dead throttles have happened in the past 18 months. So it's not completely random, it seems age/wear related.
I went to buy just the stick from Amazon and took a chance with a warehouse like new one for $162. When it came the box was huge and heavy so it got me confused but to my joy when I opened it box it turned out to be both the stick and throttle. I think the warehouse folks got the SKUs wrong. Getting another like new again hoping for a repeat and a great gift for my kids.
I'm part of a team that develops a flight simulator for a specific model of aircraft. It's the best job I've ever had!
