donkey kong joysticks vs Vs. control panel joysticks

Hey guys, can someone tell me why the vs. control panel joysticks feel different than a donkey kong control panel joystick? Are they different types? I've been playing donkey kong on a vs control panel and it just isn't right for some reason. Also if they are different where can you buy replacements for the vs. panel?
 
The vs controls have an 8 way restrictor plate, where dk is a 4 way. You can change them if you want. It requires removing the cp, and just screwing in the 4 way. Run about 8 bucks or so online, otherwise see if anyone on the board would sell some.

The 4 way vs 8 way restrictor is just one difference. The build is simliar, but technically the DK joystick is a different model than the vs joystick. Most of the parts are different. The DK sticks sit higher, have a different balltop, different base, different dust shields, etc. They feel a little different but, in general, they're pretty similar too. You can get by on a vs. cp with 4 way restrictors if you're not picky. It might throw you off a little if you played on a vs cp all the time and then switched to a DK cp, but otherwise it probably wouldn't matter much.
