Hey Jug,
I went through my SNES controllers lately and I do have one official I could spare that seems to work a-okay. I don't know if you have any technical aptitude, but I also have a 2nd controller which works somewhat (but has a non-responsive start button).
I'll tell you what, I'll check out the weight on the FF9 + the okay controller and I'll send you a quote on a package deal (Also: If you pm me your zip code, that would help too).
