$860 is damn good price for the TS-XW combo considering it's RRP is over $1K, especially as it is still so new on the market.
But I understand you dilemma when comparing it to the FANATEC options.

Tell me about it,

This looks like it might still be the go
https://www.fanatec.com/au-en/bundle/pr ... d-ps4.html the problem is the discount on the pack isn't carried accross if you get the 3 pedal with the load cell https://www.fanatec.com/au-en/pedals/cs ... c-aus.html So it's over 1k..

Not sure I want a two pedal one, even tho I generally only race open wheelers without the need for a clutch

If you need new pedals then fanatec has to be the choice surely as the pedals offered in any thrustmaster pack just can't compete.
So then why not get the two pedal set then save for the load-cell brake upgrade kit for later?
You might find you never need or want it anyway.
