Hey Lee, your opinion is absolutely respected, no one will slap you for having opinion, do not worry about it here at RD.
Having non FF is not only to be faster from my side, at teh beginning it was a compromise whichi was having doubt about too, to have the great precision wheel and loose FF with it forever or not, but i do not pitty my decision since then, not for a second.
I feel that additional precision can add the same level to realism driving as FF, i feel the cars more with ECCI then i do with G25, which i have too, i love the set.
