Yes, I would have to agree as well. I own both and the G25 just feels much more quality than the GT. The GT works perfectly fine, just the pedals are plastic and paddles are actually buttons. Apparently there's a newer G27 coming out which just has a tachometer light and 4 extra buttons on the wheel. It's essentially the same as the G25. If I were you, just wait until December rolls around before investing in a wheel. Also, there might be good deals around black friday.
Honestly, these wheels are not must get items. They are hardly compatible with every racing game. Unless you are really really die hard, they really shouldn't be considered.
