  I would recommend Mephisto Miami, a portable unit around 50 USD and 1900 Elo.
After that Saitek GK2100, same engine with Centurion but not sure, at 100 USD
and 2000 Elo, and lastly Novag Sapphire II at 200 USD and 2100 Elo. A new
version of Sapphire will come out in summer.

  Miami best suits your needs. There is a table-top version, forgot the name. I
prefer portables over table-tops when they have the same engine as you can carry
them around.
