How good are Madcatz Fightsticks?

I was able to pick up a Madcatz Street Fighter X Tekken Fightstick Pro for $30 at my local gamestore, in Like New condition. I have it connected to a PC I've converted into an arcade cabinet, and it's working just fine, but I'm just curious as to what the quality of this stick is, compared to others? I don't know much about fightsticks, and was wondering what determines if it's a good one or not. I must clarify I use this stick for games of all genres, not strictly fighting games.
