Although it's mostly just a showpiece you can't take away the amount of time and effort that must have gone into it.
I wouldn't change my short joystick. Long sticks are just leverage for high forces you need to apply to the controls.
Once you're fly by wire (F16, IL2...) you're better off with an elbow rest and short side stick, like the F16.
Unless you put external stops on the stick you'll probably break it with all that leverage.
Must have been tons o fun rewiring it.
