I have 11,000 + on "wheels" and 3,000 on A320 side-stick. The 'stick' is the winner. Took me about 30 mins to fall in love with it. Disadvantages of the 'wheel'
a. Blocks view of instruments
b. No table to eat/write on
c. With one hand on the wheel and one on the thrust lever your hand tends to pull the stick down as it is off center causing the wing to drop.
d. The new technology is here to stay, may as well learn to like it.
