I have used both recently and would say the wheel is more intuitive for steering, but braking can be a BIG issue. Its fine for the premeditated braking, such as at the end of the long straight. But I (and many others) find that under emergency or unplanned situations the brain doesnt calculate pushing the trigger away. On the contrary, it has been known for me to squeeze the trigger in error and then be heard swearing profusely....
