Need help in deciding which Wii stick to buy.

I already bought 2 Wii Hori sticks for $40 each at Gamestop. As I was buying it, the guy told me that they are coming out with Tatsunoko Sticks. The thing is that they are $80 each. I have not opened my Hori yet. Anybody know how the quality with the Horis is compared to the Tatsunoko stick ? Should I return the Hori sticks and get 2 Tatsunoko sticks, or should I just keep my Horis ? Price is not an option (in terms of $80 a stick) being I got me a job; however, I'd like quality. XD Thanks. :D
 
Looking at some pics of the TvC joysticks, they appear to be the same quality as the SF4 joysticks that MadCatz also made for the PS3 and X360. The one thing that I am not able to tell is if it is the Sanwa parted Tourney Edition joystick, or the Semitsu parted Standard Edition.

My educated guess, judging by the pictures, is that it is the one that uses Sanwa parts. Which are far superior to the Hori, which uses Semitsu parts. However, if it does use Semitsu parts, then you're better off with the Hori's you already have. Unless you like the artwork. Anywho, I managed to find a pic of this TvC joystick that I used to base my opinion and guess on.

Thanks guys !! :D Kinda like this sticks for the Wii. :p I can use it for other stuff, especially since it has "special features". XD Still buying the game either way thou. :p Anyway, I put $10 for both sticks and haven't opened the Horis (30 policy if not opened). Guess we'll wait to see if they come with Sanwa parts. :) Again, thanks guys !! :D
 
Finally, a true stick that will have analog support (Mad Catz) on the Wii. Smash Bros can now be played using a stick. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Hori's inputs are purely digital. Since Smash Bros used only the analog component for movement, you couldn't play it using Hori's stick. And this will fairly be customizable so this is good.
