you do know that comparing the X52 and the warthog is like comparing apples and oranges IMHO a more appropiate comparison is X65 and the warthog they both use a similar technology (TM has opted for allowing some movement of the actual stick) are quite similar in price (at least where I live), but the x65 is more expandable (MFDs, radio control etc...) the X52 pro is NOT in the pro-flight range for a reason.
