It´s better because it´s much smoother then the G25 and it performs accurately across the whole range... No slop in the middle like on the G25. The ffb is better on the 911 wheel as a result already with no profiles made for it even... Not everything is better then the G25 but overall it´s much better. In this price range there is no better ffb wheel then this. There is a G25 modded product that looks awesome but that is around 900 Euro... VPPs FFB wheel even more then that and I guess Frex will be somewhere up there as well. ... Also it doesn´t hurt with more buttons on the wheel either what is wrong with more features?
I agree, and there is nothing wrong with more features, but buttons on a wheel don't necessarily do anything to make it better.
A wheel needs to do two things,
1. Turn,
2. Respond with feedback.
Other than making it respond better there really isn't much you can improve.
Shifter I don´t understand why you call it crap just because it´s plastic?
I guess you agree that the G25 shifter is crap as well that thing breaks in no time. From what I see of the construction of the 911 shifters I don´t really see what would break in them.
Lets see:
1. Plastic breaks, metal does not. (G25 has a metal shaft and internal casing) You shift hard enough, and that stick will snap!
2. There is more resistance going from left to right on the shifter than switching into gears. That should be the other way around.
3. It feel so light and plastic when you hold it, it deprives you of the pleasure you experience when shifting.
I don't see how much extra it would cost, if you wrap the stick in the leather used on the wheel.
4. The whole mounting system is bogus, but since Thomas addressed this, i'll leave it at that.
5. The cable sticks out of the bottom which makes it very easy to snag or break off.
I'd say shifter is pretty much a complement of the G25, it makes up for everything the G25 has, but lacks everything else.
In an earlier post I noted that the shifter is very simple and simple is a sign of reliability, so no disagreement there.
But if you look at the wheels and the really cheap G25 casing and buttons and the sloppy feeling of it it may feel expensive actually compared to the 911...
Umm.... no. The plastic casing of the G25 is actually of much higher quality than of the 911. The 911 casing squeaks when you touch it. The buttons on the 911 are about as sloppy on the G25. The only quality bit of the casing of the 911 is the metal grills. Wow, metal grills! Someone even pointed that out as a great feature on their video review. G25 just has holes, which serve equal purpose for venting the unit and are made of lets see... nothing!
G25 wheel is made entirely out of metal, where as the 911 is not. I can not possibly agree that the build quality of the 911 wheel is higher than the G25, but I will agree to disagree.
. Not much to say about force feedback the physics is really weird but I felt there was a bit less resistance while turning compared to the racing sims I have tried but it never felt sloppy... 100 % FFB all around is required though.
. I wouldn´t agree the pedals are crap though... It´s to much black and white for me... However I do agree I had much higher hopes for those but the wheel does make up for it 
How are we supposed to settle our debates on non-real life peripherals for non-real life racing!
... Rally is good because you can race whenever you want. Only condition is that I am allowed to use the G25 pedals
