Quality arcade sticks?

[MGSPhantom]

I am gonna cut right to the chase here and just get right to the question. I REALLY want an arcade stick for gaming. Sure I could probably get used to playing on a controller like I have for games like Virtual Fighter and SF2, but using an arcade stick just feels SO much better!

The thing is, I graduate from high school in a month and am still job hunting, so money is tight right now for casual things. Most arcade sticks I see cost around $100 or more, and I am only willing to pay around $75 for a fight stick. However, I don't want to buy some piece of crap that will break or just feel cheap, which is where you beautiful folk come in!

Any recommendations?

Save up or get a job first.

I figured someone was going to say that. And that was what I was going to do if no one made any suggestions. But I figured I would at least try and see if there was anything I could actually go out and buy right now.

Trust me. If you save up now and buy later when you can actually afford it, you'll appreciate it better.

There is this thing...

PS3 version is a few bucks cheaper. You'd eventually have to swap out the buttons for higher quality parts however so the overall cost wouldn't be much different from waiting and getting a higher quality Quanbo multi system stick.
