Virpil Base + TM Warthog vs Orion 2 + F-16 base comparison Anyone?

[eFirehawk]

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to order an Orion 2 throttle, mostly because of the metal F-15E grips. However I can also add the base + F-16EX grips as a combo for a somewhat tolerable price, especially considering the additional buttons available on the grip, which make life easier in VR ( such as pressing the trim, castle switches, etc which are not possible in the TM due to real A-10 fidelity ).

But I am however very happy with the Virpil WarBRD Base + TM Warthog already. It is incredibly smooth and precise ( even though it can be a bit wiggly when centering due to the springs ), I really love it. Apart from the 'missing' extra key binds of the TM Warthog grip compared to the Orion one I don't know what could be better. So that ends up being my question:

Can anyone actually discourage me from turning my Virpil + TM into a backup and buying a not exactly necessary replacement? Has anyone ever directly compared a Virpil WarBRD base vs Winwing Orion 2 base? Bonus points if it's with the Warthog/F-16 grips. Unless the Orion 2 base is actually significantly worse in precision and feel compared to the fantastic Virpil one, I'm inclined towards including it in the kit.

The best option would have been to use the Orion 2 F-16EX grip on the Virpil, but that's impossible sadly.

That doesn't sound like someone bored/fed up with their current set up

 

Put that $$$ in something other for your rig
