I am an expert on flight simulator yokes, I've tried them all, I've modified them, I've made videos about them. I own a top of the line Yoko+ yoke from spain and I am very picky when it comes to them. Since I also fly in real life, I can attest to the feel of at least Cessna aircraft.
This yoke is very nice in feel (both movement and comfort). The pitch axis is exceptionally smooth with no annoying center detent which plagues the Honeycomb. It has a lot of travel (great for precise flying).
The sensors are Hall effect (no electrical noise or "jittering" in the simulator). The roll axis is also quite smooth and 90 degrees each way. The hat switches and buttons are probably the best placed and best feeling in the market- as they should since it is a 1:1 replica of the real 787 yoke.
The throttle is nothing special- it is missing a 4th axis to allow for both flaps and spoiler control- you can have one or the other but not both. The rotary knob on the throttle is not very useful at the moment in MSFS2020 because the rate at which it increments the autopilot setting is so painfully slow that it is useless. The only positive thing about the throttle is the fairly long throttle range and the smoothness- which you may argue is the most important part. The feel of the throttle handles is pretty good though and the reverser handles- which just engage basic switches- are not fancy but work pretty well.
I would 100% recommend the yoke, but only 50% the throttle. However, the throttle does a good job at its most basic functions- so I would not hold off on buying the package just because of it. The yoke alone is worth the price of the package.
I do think that this unit should be slightly cheaper (300$ range). But considering the niche market and the supply issues, I think the price makes sense.
There are just a few minor things I don't like about the yoke however. The mounting system is good and sturdy, but due to the pendular design, the bottom "jaw" of the yoke sticks out into your stomach- depending on how close you sit this may be a problem. The unit is difficult to store- the bottom is not perfectly flat so you have to set it down carefully and hope it does not tip over. The tablet stand is nice- but should have been made to lock into place. If you forget and try to pick up the yoke using the metal stand- it will come out. The default bindings in MSFS2020 are not all correct- you will need to take some time to iron them out. Also I recommend removing the default 5% null zone in the sensitivity settings and maybe adding a -25% to -35% sensitivity reduction on the pitch and roll axes instead. I recommend adding the additional spring that is provided for a heavier feel.
EDIT: I also had a problem with the throttle quadrant axes not being in sync around half throttle. I emailed Thrustmaster and promptly got instructions on how to do a factory calibration which should have been included in the manuals/online. If you need to calibrate your throttle: do the following:
1. Pull down the three levers. Do not plug the TCA Quadrant Boeing Edition.
2. Press and hold the top left button on the quadrant, while plugging the TCA Quadrant Boeing Edition to the Xbox One / Xbox Series X|S / PC with the USB cable.
3. Raise the three levers
4. Press and hold the top left and top right buttons at the same time to exit the calibration mode
