Should I put my money toward a space sim setup for Elite Dangerous, or a driving sim setup for Assetto Corza?

I know it's super opinion based and kind of a dumb question, but I'm wondering what I'd get more fun out of, assuming I like both equally. I love how deep E:D gets, and even something as simple as space trucking seems fun enough, but I also love the idea of racing around tracks and with other players in a racing sim.


I don't own a hotas, nor do I own any racing sim stuff. Sim racing seems way more expensive, since i'd want pedals and a shifter to go with a force feedback wheel, where as with E:D, I can just grab a t16000m throttle and stick for a little over $100 and call it a day.

Anyone ever buy used sim peripherals over craigslist? Is it something worth checking into?
