"X arcde stick vs MAS stick"

I was wondering if anyone here has played both with a MAS Stick and X arcade stick and if so what did you prefer? I have played the MAS sticks and they are really nice, but I like the idea of a life time warranty with the X aracde stick. One thing is for sure I need a good control real bad esp for MvC2

Mas is alright.... but if you need, go with Mas stick.

I own an X-arcade and I am pleased with the performance of the stick. I've used it with CvS2, MvC2, GGXX, VF4, and a variety of PC games.
A few issues,
*the PS2 adapter is wierd to setup and always seems to start in the wrong mode (I could have a defective unit as this didn't used to happen)
*If your friends spazz out and bang the controller around you will need to adjust the switches on the joystick frequently.
*Guilty Gear X has some weird polling issue where it always acts as if the controllers are being pressed rapidly instead of being held in place(makes you dash everywhere) but the problem does not exist in X2. (Again, I suspect my PS2 adapter)
I've never used the MAS stick. Would somebody be so kind as to put up a link?

They are definitively the best choice in sticks, especially since they use genuine, high quality arcade parts.
Hmmm thanks guys for the input. You feel that the Mas stick is the way to go well that could change my purchase choice. I just wish they accepted pay pal like the x arcade stick.

Ask for a perfect 360 stick and competition (flat) buttons and you should be good to go. You can add compatibility to different consoles as well.

Yeah Im going to get one of the perfect 360s. My friend has one just gotten one. You can't feel any clicks in it unlike the other one. He has the concave buttons. Says its harder to mash supers for MvC2 on the concave ones. So if he uses to them he does better when he goes to the arcades. I myself am undecided on my button choice atm
At any rate thanks for the sugestion VManOfMana

Why a 360 instead of a 4-way?

It takes a while to get used to it since you don't "feel" the angles, but in the long term is better since the clicking won't get in the way when making motions, especially if you need to make quick ones.
At the end is mostly an issue of taste, but I prefer a friend's perfect 360 MAS (I don't have one of my own) over any clicky 8-way stick I find at the arcades on this area.
Although, if I were to get a stick I would end up getting an ASCII FT2, which supposedly are the closest thing you can find to a Japanese arcade stick.

Adon: by flat I meant convex. They are more sensible since there is less distance between your fingers and the center of the button to press them, so you can just tap, and your hands do not get sore after mashing for a while.

I've figured out why my PS2 adapter wasn't working well with my X-arcade; the adapter is faulty. I'd like to thank X-gaming inc. for not telling me that they knew the PS2 adapter was faulty. It shows a high level of support for customer service when you have to go digging through the website to find these things out when they already have your telephone number, address and email.
Anyhow, they claim I'll be getting a replacement for free. Hopefuly I won't be a hassle to get it out of them.
