STECS mk ii index finger mini stick

So I’m in the market for a new throttle and I am very interested in the STECS standard throttle. I’m coming from the TM warthog and looking for an upgrade.

The main thing I hate about the warthog is the TDC mini stick for the middle finger. I pretty much made up my mind on the STECS after watching reviews but then I saw the STECs mk2 has that mini stick now for the index finger which makes me nervous.

So my questions are, how is the index finger mini stick compared to the warthog mini stick? Cause for the life of me I cannot accurately control a TDC or TGP with the warthog one. Second, Is that mini stick removeable and able to be replaced with a normal analog stick? And lastly if it can be replaced does the replacement come with the throttle?

Edit* there’s literally no reviews on YouTube of the STECs mk2 to even show how it is and being a pretty hefty investment I’m nervous buying it without hearing how it is after a pretty major change
