Is it time for a new stick?

I currently have a Mad Catz TE that has been heavily modded, but have noticed the plastic starting to split. I want to look into a new stick before I am waiting for a new one to arrive (UK seems isolated in that market).
Skill and cash barrier are not a problem, and I've looked at all fight sticks and tek for custom. I've also considered just getting the latest hori but I hate the wire enclosures....

Any help is a thank you
