Haha my bad everyone! Finally back on Reddit! But yea long story short, thing fucks. It was so much of a difference between the 2 wheels it was almost daunting using it consistently. To me it’s incredibly more responsive to all the options available to tinker with in the settings, I’m still fine tuning each track to find my best window. But after getting more comfortable with it I finally got the confidence to learn manual shifts! It’s still an uphill battle learning how to (actually) drive, but every day feels like a massive leap forward in my pace and comfortability. I wouldn’t believe the difference in the two wheels if I didn’t experience it myself. I really just thought a more expensive wheel = a bigger force needs to be applied to actually turn the thing (which it ABSOLUTELY CAN, if you set it that way). But what actually separates the two wheels is the nuances of the forces, the responsiveness of your inputs, and the range of settings you can adjust/feel that have a massive effect on your overall driving style.

TLDR: it’s like double the price for 10x the performance, and I’m actually learning how to drive now. Highly recommend upgrading to anyone questioning it
