I'm thinking of getting this for the 737PMDG. Is it a good choice in your opinion? maybe for few more $ there is one that suits better the 737? 

I would also like to know if  I will be able to program the throttle levers as follows for FSX: left lever: spoilers, middle lever: left engine, right lever right engine.

He is the manufacturer, and people say his products are good...

I have the Saitek Yoke and throttles. They are a great economy choice. You can take the tops off the levers, and add a more  'airline style' set up. I have had mine for years and they are still going. I think I have seen people add an extra throttle, side by side and then you have a two throttle, spoiler, and flap set up. 

 

Never had the privilege of owning something better. But the Saitek has never let me down.

The "Saitek PRO Flight Yoke" you have listed does not turn a full 180 degrees, Only 45 degrees left and 45 degrees right with a total of 90 degrees if that matters. That was a deciding factor for me in which prompted me not to purchase. http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/yoke.html

 

This yoke turns 90 degrees left and 90 degrees right for a total 180 degrees: "Saitek Pro Flight Cessna Yoke System" which I just purchased a month ago. Works well. About $U.S.284 with the throttles on Amazon. Hope this helps.

You can get the Goflight Yoke that is modeled after a 737 yoke and is all metal.

There is also the VRINSIGHT Yoke that is very good aswell and it's cheaper than the go flight but not based on the 737

The one Yoke which I have heard nothing but superlatives about is the Virtual Fly "Yoko the Yoke". I have not seen one negative review about this product from anyone. 

Given that I am coming from an Extreme 3d joystick a good but budget solution seems to be the http://www.saitek.co...cessnayoke.html with 90 degrees turn/side plus the throttle system!

The Pro Cessna Saitek is what I use and it is superior to the first Saitek yoke you mentioned in your first post.

I have a PFC Beechcraft yoke with all sensors -  and to date, still consider it the best upgrade  investment i have ever made for flightsim.  If you have the budget, spend the extra money.  For the more expensive options,  carefully consider before you buy.  I consider PFC to be one of the best.

 

It's pricey, but a worthwhile investment.

+1 I had both the Saitek yokes. I thought they were both terrible and returned both. Spend the extra money if you can.

All the ones in 600-900 range are really beautiful

Check out the link I sent you. Got mine yesterday. It is amazing! I can actually calibrate the tensions to match that of the real airplane. They even provide a guide telling you the different tension values of a wide variety of aircraft. Very reasonably priced as well!

Reading some reviews on Amazon..... is it true that "clicks" in place when centered (like a "detent" ?!?!?) making minor adjustments difficult especially while landing? maybe that user got a defective one....I find it hard to believe that there is a "center detent' on the yoke 

The yoke does self-center. When it self centers I hear absolutely no click.  I don't wish to start a war of semantics here but I do not refer to this self-centering design as a detent. In my thinking a detent is something like a notch or groove that a bump or pawl settles into (see link below). This yokes self centering does not engage like that. It just returns to rest if you let go. It takes some minor effort to move it from that rest, but it happens smoothly.  There is nothing to overcome but the inherent resistance.  I have no difficulty adjusting the software sensitivity curve setting and null width of the yoke and thus have no issue with minor adjustments.  We use so much autopilot control these days in all honesty I most often use the yoke to rotate on takeoff and flare on landing.  I have no issue with either.  I do use the yoke exclusively when sightseeing in small GA aircraft and still have no issue.
