MS Sidewinder USB hack vs. Keyboard Encoder...?

hey all,

Before I found this site, I went out and got 2 MS Sidewinder gamepads ($14, 8-way + 6 buttons each). They are USB, and setup is a breeze in both Windows and MAME. Now, as I learn more, I see that a lot of people are using keyboard encoders as their interface.

Is there a reason why I should ditch the hacked Sidewinders in favor of a keyboard encoder? For example, do you get faster input response through the encoder, etc?
Thanks!
-Tom
