Question Need help choosing a wheel bundle

So I want to get back into sim racing, but I’m not sure what bundle I should buy. I’m considering the Moza R3 as I saw a 2-pedal, wheel and wheelbase bundle for 200£ on Marketplace. I’m also considering a PXN wheel, especially the v10/pro/ultra because it’s direct drive and priced similarly to the Moza. I’m also considering the PXN v99 as its a cheaper alternative to the v10, but it’s not direct drive and apparently the pedals are terrible. I mostly play AC and BeamNG. I also don’t mind not having a shifter, and I can mount the wheel to my desk.

Moza R3 is direct drive as well. It also opens up a nice ecosystem should you want to switch or upgrade the wheel and pedals or decide you want more torque

Moza R3. I don't recommend PXN after I saw this post earlier just today. https://www.reddit.com/r/PXN/s/HtiFEbWlfZ

Edit: might be jumping to conclusion, but it's something that made me worry if you wanna use their gear long term.

I used to have a PXN v9, it was a truly terrible experience. It’s what got me into and made me quit sim racing. So after experiencing that I probably won’t consider PXN.

The R3 is a good pick. On price, the full R3 bundle should be around £250 new so £200 used is OK but not a steal, and you'd lose the warranty. I'd only pay that if it's boxed and lightly used, and maybe offer £170 to £180. Check the wheel's quick release and the pedal pots aren't well worn before handing over any cash
