Does anyone have any experience with Honeycomb Charlie rudder pedals? 

I can get them from Amazon for £250.

I can also get Thrustmaster TPR for £430. 

Unfortunately I don't have easy access to Virpil or Winwing so these are not options for me. 

I know what I want to get but is the extra £180 worth it?

I'd say it depends on how you like the design and the "function" of the pedals. Have a look at images, and then pay attention to the design of how they work differently. I'm sure you'd be happy with the Charlies while I do know there exists 3rd party damper kits and force feedback kits for the TMs you might want in tbe future. I can highly recommend dampers on pedals from the get go. I'm not sure that's possible with the Charlies.

Cheers!

IMHO:  TPR is a very solid build, heavy and big, and I have it for few years without an issue.  Yes, it is costly. 

By reviewing Honeycomb Charlie website, I am kind like it, and it is very compact.  The handle for the surface of floor has more options than TPR.

Thanks. 

I've had a look at reviews and the Charlie is very heavy. About 1kg heavier than the TPR. It is also quite big (45cm x 45cm) and has carpet grips so good for keeping in place without a frame. 

As it's from Amazon I might try the Charlie and if it's not for me get the TPR instead.

Yup!  It is a big advantage to purchase from Amazon 🙂
