I had recently the Saitek R440 as a backup for the Momo Racing. Those Momo pedals need attention once and awile :( . I think the Saitek is a good product but it has a few minors. The pedals of the R440 dont have enough resistance. I need to take my shoes off to feel the pedals! But when I do I have more accuracy than I have with the Momo. The forcefeedback effects in games like 'Live For Speed' and 'GTR' do not feel 100% compatible. Some effects are weaker then you expect and other effects again are stronger. On the long straits the forces in the wheel seem to stutter a bit. (Maybe I can tweak this, did not try yet.) The accuracy of the wheel is however very good and I find it more easy to drift through corners with the R440 than with the Momo. Over all I would say you can drive just as fast with both wheels, the Logitech Momo Racing gives the best realism and the Saitek R440 the best price.
