So despite what some say, there is no performance difference at all, just whatever you're faster with.
I can drive a steerwheel, but the braking isn't natural to me.
I started with an RC glider years ago, hence sticks for me.

But I have both the Futaba 3GR and the Sanwa M11X.
Like you, I find the forward for brake and pull back for throttle totally illogical, the wheel is nice and I am seriously considering modifying the 3GR steering stick to a wheel, even as far as adding a miniature 'Suicide Knob' so that steering can still be achieved with the thumb, without having to wear a neck strap to keep hold of the tranny in both hands.
Would love to have the Sanwa Super Exzes-X but at nearly three times the price of the Futaba 3GR and twice the price of the M11X, the response from my 'Control Tower' would be scary to say the least.
Also, the Sanwa importer here in Oz reckons there is no market for the Sanwa Super Exzes-X and at over AUD$ 700.00 a pop, he's not wrong!
