Side Stick Cyclic

Just wondering what others think about side sticks. Seeing as they are becoming a standard on attack helos, and I think the NH-90 has it, how long before we will se them on civil helos?
Since helos require just about every part of the anatomy to keep flying, would the inablility to hold the cyclic between the knees be a big disadvantage to the side stick.
Speculations welcome, as Im sure there are many how havent flown with one.
