In case you ever wanna switch to the dark side, I've posted a breakdown of the current hotas situation on the vive subreddit before, lemme see if I can find it.
Found it.
The cheap end would be the T-Flight Hotas X ($50).
On the cheaper mid range side, either the Saitek x52 ($140), or the Saitek x52 Pro ($180)
On the more pricey side of the mid range I can suggest the Saitek x55/x56 ($250)
Top of the Line would be the Thrustmaster Warthog ($400)
Since then thrustmaster also released the T.16000M ($130) which as far as I know was made in communication with Frontier so it should be a pretty good fit for Elite.
Their Amazon link is $249 in the US.

$249 with free shipping on Amazon. Ships out and will be here just a little bit before NMS.
what hotus setup do you guys suggest? this one? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CZTSS3O
I respect how you guys interact with the community and even approach others if they have problems. But I'm sorry, I have to disagree that product quality has been sufficiently been patched up now.
It's an average of 3 stars across from multiple review sites.
I'm not doing this to prove a point. But I would recommend that Logitech approaches these reviewers to help the situation and help your company's reputation.

I do believe they're the same except the look
I am in the same boat as you
Have been looking at reviews from amazon.
Except the X56 has 3 stars. (I'd be more comfortable with 4.)
X52 G pro has 3.5 stars and the X52 has 4 stars.
I currently use the 50$ thrust master. Which works to see if you're into the game.
Anyways if you can please post again after you get it?

This is the x56 Rhino I was looking at.
The Logitech X56 seems like the safer choice though.
CH Products makes the most durable and reliable stuff based on my own experience and user reviews, but they're kinda ugly and expensive. If you're not down with the price of the CH stuff, the T-Flight by Thrustmaster is a really good value with decent functionality. The only thing that I didn't like about it was the annoying USB cable that ran between the throttle and joy stick when you separate the base. Saitek seems to have quality control issues, so I'd consider that a gamble at $250.
So, when is the release date for X56 ??
30 May ?
Amazon.de its says, it's available from 30.05.2016

Seems like its been pulled from preorder on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Saitek-Flight-Controller-SCB432210002-01/dp/B01CZTSS3O?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0
Dont know why, but if they pulled it from preorder. Its 1 of two options, either they cant meet the amounts of preorders. Or (Lets just hope its this one) They pulled the product for quality reasons. If they make a MK.2 mod of the x-56 with better quality then im probably back on the hype train. But until that happens im not buying a Saitek product with this poor quality.
If I was to upgrade from my x52 pro I would get the x-56
