I have seen this but I will stick with the "regular " X52 for now....or until the unit gives out. Besides, I don't see much difference at all
bewteen the 2.

The big change is that it doesn't look stupid anymore, and that's almost worth the price.

How does it look stupid in the first place? I didn't buy it for the looks anyway

All that silver and black and colored lights and the stupid handguard in front of the stick. What do you need a handguard for? Are you
going to break your knuckles on your desk during a dogfight or something? It gets very high marks for functionality but it's an eyesore.
This has now been remedied. Somewhat.

According to FAA regulations you're not meant to let anyone into the cockpit so...

The very same. Hence why I said 'almost' remedied.
