Hey guys, I've decided it's time to retire my G29 and finally get a Direct Drive. I have a budget of around €500-600, but I'm a bit unsure about which bundle/ecosystem I should go for.

Here are the options I've been considering:

  • Fanatec CSL DD (5Nm): I saw that complete bundles (base + wheel + pedals) start at around €340 (they're on sale). I really like the fact that I could easily upgrade it to 8Nm in the future with the Boost Kit (perhaps by getting a compatible third-party power supply to save some money). My only concern: could Fanatec's closed ecosystem be a limitation in the long run?
  • Moza R5: I saw the bundle for around €419, but maybe 5.5Nm is a bit low?
  • PXN VD10: I saw it for around €500, but here too I'd have the problem of having to add a separate pedal set, and PXN isn't very well known in the DD space.

With €500-600 in your pocket, what would you do today? Is it better to pull the trigger now or wait and scrape together a little more money for something else?

P.S. I already have a rig/cockpit and I play on PC.
