Street Fighter IV arcade pad

Anyone got an arcade fighting stick for their 360? I'm wanting to get this game and a fighting stick for it (the 360 controller isn't the best for fighting games), either the SF IV arcade pad or the EX2 arcade fighting stick, but there's problems for both:

1) The SF arcade pad, while being cheaper, probably only works for SF IV (that would make sense seeing how it's a *SF IV* arcade pad), meaning I wouldn't be able to play games like Virtua Fighter 5, Soul Calibur IV or Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe with it (and later Tekken 6 which I also plan on buying when it comes out for the 360).

2) The EX 2 arcade stick, while it does work with all arcade games, is a bit expensive at around $100. My question there is: is it really worth it?

So yeah, I have a crisis either way, but a better controller than the 360 controller would make fighting games a lot more enjoyable methinks.

Really, it cost $100 for the EX2 Stick?

I justed saw it for $59.99 on Amazon though they're out of stock at the moment. I'm picking up this game today for my 360 and I'm debating on if I should get a joystick and which one?

Nevermind! My local GameStop is selling the EX2 Arcade stick for $40, which is a fairly reasonable price for something that will enhance my fighting game experience for the 360.

PS, I saw it online for around $100, but GameStop is selling it for a lot cheaper at the store, not online (that means no shipping and handling or waiting for it to arrive in the mail, yipee!), so looks like I got my wish on this one.
