My first stick...HRAP-3? Help?

I posted this in the HRAP-3 review thread, but it doesn't seem to be getting looked at anymore, so I figured I'd just make a new thread for it.

The consensus seems to be that I can throw in some Seimitsu parts with no hassle of actually doing any crazy modding, which is good because I have no experience whatsoever.

To those of you who are more experienced, does this sound like a good idea? I have been wanting to get a reasonably priced stick that will provide me with an arcade feel and arcade precision for the shmups I play in MAME for quite awhile, but no production sticks have really jumped out at me until now.

Thanks in advance.

If I am making a mistake, what would you recommend in the same general price range?

Thanks.

Looking forward to your impressions.

Do you plan on modding it at all?

Its hard enough me trying to plug the thing in and make it work normally

I have read that modding the stick is fairly straight forward tho!
