Flight Sticks for under 100$

To preface I've never actually owned a flight stick before, so this is an environment completely new to me. So on to the actual topic: I plan on getting a flight stick around the time Star Citizen releases so I can take advantage of the VR headset I also hope to buy around that point in time, so does anyone who actually knows flight sticks for under/close to 100$ that are good for someone like myself? I can probably exceed that budget if absolutely necessary, but as I said, I have literally no idea how to judge quality of these things.

That and the logitech flightstick. Yet I don't know what that one is called. The thrustmaster one is really good as it gives the user a hotas setup instead of just the flightstick.

hands on throttle and stick

 

anyways, I have CH pedals and a CH joystick, both of which are of low quality but do the job. The flight stick has a very light base, so I may put some kind of steel or something inside to weigh it down.

I've looked around YouTube and Amazon and found a model called the Saitek X52 (http://www.amazon.com/Saitek-X52-Flight-Control-System/dp/B00030GSJY) which looks fairly compelling. It looks well built and feature stocked, but I don't know if it'd be a good purchase. It's over the 100$ but if it's a good system I can stomach the extra 50$
