For touch-offs you are probably better set with the MPG. Be nice if they had a built-in joystick on the MPG I have. The nice thing about most of the joysticks is they're USB, so don't require a second parport. Also, a lot of the MPG's require an adapter to go from the DB25 parallel port to the DB-something or other the MPG uses. The adapter also requires 5 VDC, which is gotten from a spare USB port.
