Am I missing something here? Why is the gt Omega wheel stand, with adjustable pedal plate, cost a paltry $155 with shifter mount (100 GBP) vs the RennSport which costs essentially the same, but doesn't include a shifter mount, and doesn't have an adjustable pedal plate. Not to mention the Gamepod GT1 which is twice the price.
I'm VERY new and extremely naive about Simracing and its hardware, is there something I'm missing. Is Gamepod a fantastic company? Is there something in the product description for the Gamepod GT1 Pro (forget the standard) that I'm not seeing vs the GT Omega wheel stand? Both look the same, fold the same, and include an adjustable pedal area? Why is the GT Omega so cheap? Is it made of terrible components?
To give an analogy to PC users: is the GT Omega Wheel stand the same as a Diablotek PSU and the GT1 Pro is like the Seasonic PSU of wheel stands? Because if so, I could understand the price. I just can't wrap my head around why the second one is twice the price.
Anyways, thanks for having me guys. I'm new here, so please excuse my ignorance. Thank you for all the feedback!
