Stay away.

The case is likely too shallow to mount proper buttons, let alone a lever. And I have yet to hear anything remotely positive about it stock either.

the stick looks a little funky to me. i have a pair of Hori EX2s for the 360 and couldn't be happier with them right out of the box, to be honest.

I have it and with heavy modding it's "okay". Not great. http://www.emphatic.se/guwangestick.html

It is VERY hard to mod, so if you can get hold of a Mad Katz stick instead, then go for that instead. Those are very easy to mod.

i'v only read positive stuff about the HRAP EX-SE so i bought one and i'm really happy with it too. Well, apart from the "artwork", but i replaced that.
so you might also consider that one, it costs about $100

As mentioned before, go for the HRAP EX SE, you'll not regret it.

The hori tekken stick is a piece of shit and best burnt on the stake.

Nice stick. I checked some updates on your site. How is Gradius V on the candy?

It looks very nice thanks. 8) I just bought RGB cables for my 360 and the Dreamcast as well, so I will probably do an update soonish. Just waiting for the mailman now.
