TMX PRO VS T300 RS GTE

[Aivokuollut]

As the title says, which one would you recommend for a starter? I can get the TMX Pro for 245€ while the T300 RS GTE is 350€.
Is it worth paying about 100€ more for the wheel?

Biggest difference between the wheels is this.

TMX has a bungee/belt hybrid pulley system while the T300 is fully belt driven.
T300 wheel is removeable to change out wheel rims. TMX wheel is not.

The only difference in the pedels is going to be the pedal faces. Nothing special about that.

ETA: If you are mounting to a sim rig or even a wheel/pedal stand the TMX wheel base does not have the M6 bolt holes on the bottom for that. Would still need to use the clamping system.

Any idea if its a huge difference between the hybrid and the full belt driven systems? I only play casually.
Don't really care about changing wheel rims. At least now i think so.
Only experience i have from wheel and pedals is +10 years ago with a Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP or something. :D

Maybe not a helpful post but I have the T300 and I have never regretted buying it - however I didnt like the pedals at all (two pedals no clutch) because it had a tendency to "flip over", they werent steady at the floor when braked hard. But the wheel itself is awesome.
(I use my old Logitech G25 pedals who are great, have a brake mod in them too wich is really realistic. But then we dont talk the price range you had set, just for information)

Not really a huge difference between the hybrid and full belt system, but there are noticeable differences. One thing that I can tell is that the full belt driven wheel is smoother than the hybrid. Also the force feedback is going to feel different. As the TMX has a plastic wheel rim you may notice slightly stronger forces when comparing it to the T300. This is quite normal as the T300 wheel rim is more robust when comparing to a plastic one.

I personally went from a T150(same as TMX but for PS3/PS4) to a TX base. Again, this base is the same as the T300 except for Xbox. I dont have a console so that is why there is a different. Got the TX base at a lower cost than the base for the T300.
