I converted from sticks to wheel a long time ago.
At that time, the issue for me was that I wanted more feel from the steering as I felt that it was too easy to push the stick too far and I was never comfortable trying to feed in a little bit of opposite lock - and I'd still say that wheels are better than sticks for this reason.

But...

Back when I changed, the awesome power that was a 27T motor meant that having a binary throttle response wasn't a problem. Now it is more so and, as Roger has said, modulating the brakes can be a touch more difficult with a wheel but if you spend time making sure that the trigger is shaped to your finger (and adding some foam if you have little fingers) to ensure that the throttle is a snug fit around your finger then it's not too bad.

it won't be easy to swap and if you do - you have to be committed and ready to crash a bit more as you learn - but I'm pleased that I persevered back when I made the switch.
