Need advice on joysticks.

So I've been using the Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT-SK joystick for a little over a year already and I feel like I need a stick with a little more resistance, the buttons I have no problems with, though. I've heard about Seimitsu sticks, but people mentioned shorter throw distance which I do not want. I've also been having problems with deflection lately, (I'm the type that lets go of the stick if I need it on neutral) but that may just be because of a worn out spring. I'm only looking for slightly more resistance than the JLF, not the amount you would get in a typical movie theater or mall stock arcade cabinet in the states.

So would anyone be kind enough to direct me to a stick(s) with the conditions I'm looking for, or link me a list of specs of different sticks so I could compare them?
