Comparing throttle quadrants

I’m thinking of getting additional throttles. I have a Warthog and Cougar set so am okay for left handed and military use and they work fine but considering a right hand use.

Have a Honeycomb Alpha yoke and was considering the Bravo throttle but some things put me off so have also started looking at the Thrustmaster Airbus collection, i.e. Twin throttles and the add-on flaps/speedbreak units.

They seem more suited for lower console mounting in their action than the Bravo and also have the benefit of being Hall effect rather than pots. Looks far sturdier to me too. The autopilot and extra switches on the Bravo seem a little fiddly to me too.

Anyone with the full airbus throttles use them for GA, turboprops etc. rather than just big iron?

Many thanks.

I have the tca quadrant throttles, love it. I’m a huge airbus fanboy but also use them for plenty of GA - I fly the Baron G38 and TBM 930 a lot!

The bravo is a more expensive unit, and I’m not sure there is much to pick between them in terms of quality. The TCA set suit my needs, space, budget, and are expandable.
