I always ran gehls, I never liked foot controls. Bought an 07 mustang 2086, it is the exact same machine as a gehl 6640, except with a cummins motor instead of a deutz. It has the joysticks. I love it, good power and stability.
One thing to remember with joysticks is that there are two types. electric over hyd and true hydraulic. I think case and bobcat use e/h. A friend has a 70XT. He has had trouble with the contact switches going out. Gehl, mustang and I think Cat run hyd joysticks much like in an excavator. To me they are way smoother, simpler and more responsive. You do lose some of your responsiveness at an idle. Also, like a backhoe the machine has to warm up when its cold out or the controls really lag.
After using the T bar controls, I wasnt sure I d like how touchy the joysticks are, but after you get used to them they are awesome. You can run the machine all day and barely move your arms.
