Really the stages just refir to the effort required to turn the wheel. The few that have the borgeson say it's about a Stage 2.5 in Firm Feel terms.

Biggest thing going for the Borgeson is that it is a BRAND NEW 0 mile box. That beats the cores that Firm Feel uses.

That being said, I have a FF Stage 3 coupled to a Tuff Wheel and Fast ratio arms and love it. Like Frankenduster, there's just a smidge of numbness on center, but go a fraction of a degree and you have instant feedback.
