To go HOTAS, to go dual Flightsticks, To go CH or TM...

I posted this in the Den and thought I would get input from you guys as well. I can really only afford to spend 400ish ONCE on a set of controls so I am trying to do as much research as possible!
I am looking for someone who has had hands on experience with Thrust Master and CH Products. Not just an in store tried them and went one way or the other but someone that has really used them for extended usage! I have a Saitek set that I bought ages ago only because it was on a really good sale. Never really used it till lately when I started looking up games to play while waiting on SC. After hours of trying to like the X52 I have decided I can not. It is way to loose and much to sloppy for me. I remember in the gameport days that I loved my Ch Fighter stick and am looking into that. But after pricing all I want from CH (Figherstick, Pro Throttle, Pedals, possible left hand stick to try 2 sticks in stead HOTAS setup) I find I am near the Thrustmaster Warthog and wanted some input about it compared to the CH Products.
How does the Thrustmaster compare to the CH. Is TM tighter than CH or about the same? Sadly no place in my area carries either products so I have to rely on word of mouth and order online.
Also has it been said whether or not the the lefdt/right and up/down thrusters will be analog or just an on off type setup? This as well will affect what system I use to control. Thanks for input!
