Sim Rig - Around $600 budget

I'm currently looking for a sim racing cockpit with a budget around $600 that can, for the future, handle something like a DD wheel and Heusinkveld pedals. I currently have Fanatec 911 GT3 RS V2 and CSR Elite pedals.

I have been mostly focused on the GT Omega Titan Cockpit but unfortunately they informed me by e-mail that they are expected to have stock only on September. :( I looked at NLR GT Ultimate V2 but not only it's $699 (bit too high), it's also stated that it can't handle DD wheels and it does seem to look less rigid than the GT Omega Titan while costing roughly $150 more. NLR also has the F-GT for $500 which according to NLR can handle DD wheels but that seat just seems bad in my opinion and it looks less rigid than the GT Omega Titan.

GT Omega Titan: https://www.gtomega.com/products/titan-cockpit
Ultimate V2: https://www.nextlevelracing.com/products/next-level-racing-gtultimate-v2/

I'm just a bit lost here, are there are any other options? Anything else I could consider? Thank you.
 
I know this is kind of old at this point, and you probably have already purchased. However, I personally have the F-GT cockpit, and love it. I find the seat very comfortable (I do add my Purple cushion ;)), and have been amazed at all the different ways I can configure it. However, as expected I never change it. I have the Fanatec Clubsport V3 pedals, and the AccuForce V2 DD wheel.

The main negative would be the pedal plate is not adjustable when in the GT position. I actually have the pedals in the Formula position since it is adjustable and the rest of the rig in the GT. I actually like it better that way, and would say it is possible it matches a real car a little more this way. At least when compared to my Fiero GT and Genesis Coupe. Not so much my Mustang.

Example: Fiero GT (not mine. Mine has been gone for decades). Notice how the pedals are almost the same height as the seat.

The greatest positive is the fantastic customer support I have received from NLR. That is before and after my purchase. They have gotten back to me within hours, and not days. I actually purchased their monitor stand as well due to their service.

I can't speak for GT Omega. A friend of mine really likes their stuff. Here is a good review for the NLR F-GT. I don't seem to have the same flex he does in the video for the pedals, but it could be how I have mine positioned compared to the way he does.


If you already purchased, let us know what you got.
