(Yes, I know that they're functionally similar--I'm more concerned with the feel of things.)

If you hold them using the bottom parts of it, versus the top (since they're both right handed), it's less awkward, but I still feel like I have more control over things when using the old ones (we've even changed the springs and such a bunch of times but still no luck for me at least. Our arm driver took the actual plastic handle part off of the flightstick pro off for her controls). Hope that makes sense!

I agree. I think its safe to say that the majority is not satisfied with the current ones offered.
