joystick controller

Does anybody have recommendations for a really good joystick controller for a Voyager XL? I have seen "Cat Stick" discussed, but that seems a bit too rare and expensive (unless somebody tells me its worth it). A related question - is there really any point to a joystick in light of everything else going on with the XL (other than as a new toy)?

Synthesizers.com has all kinds of interesting controllers
including joysticks, whammy bars, ondes martenot style pressure blocks, etc.

I think it's a great idea to hook everything and anything up to your Voyager and find whatever way you can to make the sounds you want. If you can afford the XL, then it's a safe assumption you can afford any new toys to hook up to it.
