The warthog is a nice stick, but it also requires rudder pedals, as it doesn't have a twist axis. So it's another hundred or so, for those.

A step in between a X-55 / X-52 pro and the Warthog are the the CH products. Specifically the Fighter Stick and the Pro Throttle. Which you can get into for 200.00 right now. You get most of the functionality of a Warthog and solid build quality.

I mention these sticks as they good products that often get overlooked in the discussion of joysticks. They are worth considering if you want to spend more than 200 but not 5 or 6 hundred.
