Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X vs. Saitek X52

I'm looking to replace my Saitek AV8R with either the T.Flight Hotas or the Saitek X52. I am using Flightsim X and X-Plane 9, and will be trying out Tom Clancy's HAWX soon as well just for fun. Anyone have any input on either, considering, price, quality, functionality, etc.? I can spring for either. The Saitek look like it has more controls and I like the 3 high hat switches, but the Thrustmaster price looks pretty awesome. The X52 is about $85.00 on buy.com http://www.buy.com/prod/saitek-advanced-pc...8/10412072.htmland the T.Flight Hotas X is $32.00http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=...tingid=34083059Thanks.
