Problem with pistol transmitters is that most drivers do steer from the wrist and not from the fingers, that is a huge mass to make a move loosing some reaction time. Good drivers do only move the fingers on the wheel. With sticks (and for sure with short sticks) you only have to move the thumb.
Althoug TS did not give the wish for which type it is always good to ask.
