G25 pros - Stronger FFB (straight cut gear driven) and shifter is dual mode (H-Pattern or sequential). The shifter is the clincher for me.
G27 pros - Quieter and smoother FFB (helical cut gear driven), 4 more buttons on the wheel.
You can still pick up G25s on ebay, barely used. Should be able to get one for <$100.
My G25 is still going strong after over 4 years.
I saw G27s in JB HiFi the other day for about $250.
Only thing is the both shifters feel like toys, but they do the job - I hear the thrustmaster shifter has a better feel.
