Don't get this one, when a superior alternative is only $30 more:

hori SCV stick with all sanwa parts is still on sale for 100$, http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Xbox-360-Soulcalibur-Arcade-Stick/dp/B006TC57WO/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1343938045&sr=1-2&keywords=hori+soul+calibur+v+stick it was 89.99$ a week ago or something, but I can't seem to find a link to that one. This one and the SFxTekken madcatz stick constantly go on sale for around 90-100$ and are top notch quality.
I'm looking at picking up my first arcade stick and after searching I am looking at these 3:
I play on PC so I like the third one most for compatibility reasons, but I am not 100% sure which has the highest quality parts or even if they're all the same. I have an intel chipset so a PS3 stick SHOULD work without problems and if the PS3 sticks I linked are higher quality then I will nut up and go for one of them.
I don't know why you are buying two but I would suggest getting a quality stick for both even if it costs a little extra. A Madcatz TE stick is probably the best way to go for your first stick. You don't want your first experience to be with a piece of trash.
I personally prefer Hori for the bulkier feel (I really love my Hori one.)
If you are going to go to local tournaments then you should probably get a Qanba since they are dual modded straight out of the box. They are like a higher quality TE IMO.
There will probably be some mad deals around Evo. I would wait until then.
Best bang for your buck on Amazon is probably this:

The only drawback is that the button layout is a little different from Vewlix layouts, which I believe are used by most other popular sticks these days.
