G27 all the way.
For $250 it's not exctaly cheap but it's a world of difference compared to the DFGT, specially in the pedals area. Oh, who am I kidding, the leather wheel feels way better too. It's a great wheel at that price, given that the next step in the scale is a Thrustmaster T500RS which'll cost you $750 with a shifter.
I've had it for...hmmm...like two or three years now, and I absolutely love it!
