I guess I’ll be the jackass by posting what is best for me specifically.
1) No. I use pedals and don’t want to pay more for a feature I am not going to use.
2) No. I do not have a WH base, and I do not want to lose functionality of the stick in order to make it compatible with one.
Honestly (since only one of the two can be yes anyway), I will probably still buy the stick if it has lockable twist. I will most likely not buy the stick if it is WH compatible. At that point I am paying only for aesthetics over the MCG, and that isn’t worth the cost to me. I want the Tomcat stick to be a 1:1 replica, with 1:1 functionality included.
