It depends .. on one hand it is much cheaper the change of pots, at around 45 Euro vs 400 for a new Warthog; on the other, your Cougar may have other worn componentes that have yet to fail, like the Gimbals, the microstick or any of its buttons.

 

 

Also, the Cougar is a replica of the F-16 Hotas; while the Warthog is a replica of the A-10s .. take your pick :D

 

 

On my own case, I prefer to keep the old lady running, as it has a much easier programming utility than the Warthog's: Foxy vs Target, and both are so much more powerful than programming the Hotas within DCS.

 

 

Here is a review I made of aftermarket pots that are manufactured by a fellow member of this Forum:
