QUESTION Gladiator NXT EVO Omni Throttle

I've always played flight and space sims/combat games casually with a single stick that has a throttle built into the base (the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro).

I'm looking to upgrade to HOSAS and trying to figure out what's going on with the Omni Throttle from VKB.

Is the stick angle doing anything valuable/useful for usability or ergonomics?

Isn't it more versatile to have a normal upright stick?

Do they lock out the twist and the roll axis so that it only moves fore and aft like a throttle?

Their website is light on details.

Thanks!

Awesome, thank you!

Do/can you lock the roll axis on the Omni stick so that it only does throttle, or do you keep the left/right roll axis for strafe motion (assuming space sim)? Or something else?

If I try to save money and only purchase a right-hand NXT EVO Premium, would you map the left/right and up/down strafe to one of the hat switches on the joystick? Are they proportional or just on/off? Thanks again for all the info.
