I'm going to buy a wheel setup tomorrow and I'm wondering which would be better.

Thrustmaster T500 RS: €399
Wheel Stand Pro DeluxeV2: €119,98
Shipping: €5
Total: €523,98

Or

Fanatec Porsche 911 GT3 RS V2: €239,95
Fanatec CSR Pedals: €99,95
Fanatec CSL Wheel Stand: €119,95
Shipping: €28,37
Total: €493,61

So, just a tiny difference in price, which setup should I go with?
 
T500RS all the way. The GT3RSv2 isn't really the same class of wheel, the T500RS pedals are WAY better than the standard CSR pedals. You can still save a couple bucks and do the Fanatec stand tho, I used one with my T500 for a while and it worked fine. but you'll want to make sure it either has the holes already or make sure you can drill them, as the Thrustmaster claw is good for short term use but eventually seems to break.

I have had a T500RS for a long time now (GT5 days) and very happy with it. I can't comment on the Fanatec because I haven't tried it.

The Wheelstand Pro is very good - I have had two, first with a DFGT then the T500. Both times the speed of shipping impressed me as well as the quality of finish.
 
T500 motor is worth around $100 retail. GT3 motor is worth around $2 retail. That's literal, and you get what THEY pay for.

Easy decision - T500.

If space is not an issue, you may want to seriously look at having a go at a DIY stand/cockpit. Even with limited space there are still possibilities though.
