You don't need expensive pedals. CH are about $100and Saitek combat are about $170. They both work great, I've had both. I had CH for about 10 years, then switched to the combat pedals back in March 2014. I like the combat pedals because they are wider than the CH and the actual pedals can be adjusted...plus you can adjust the tension. I wouldn't spend more then that on pedals, I think it's a waste, but that's me.
I would still have my CH pedals if CH would have made a different throttle.
