I think it's a matter of preference, for ETS/ATS I do enjoy it with haptic turned low, but do find I get a bit of a headache after a while.  I normally only play ATS/ETS for an hour at a time so that's certainly doable.  With haptic I can feel the extra pressure on my eardrums.  It is pretty cool and immersive though.

The most annoying one so far was definitely the exterior exhaust/jet wash rumble on the CRJ.  To me that wasn't bearable with any haptic level for whatever reason. 

I got mine on a pretty good sale, so I don't regret the purchase, but I do swap between my headsets depending on what I'm playing.

Thanks so much for the great information.
