Can anyone help me in deciding between two sticks?

Okay so, I am somewhat new to fighting games and most certainly new to the fightstick controller. I have been wanting one and I am deciding which one to get tonight, but I am having troubles. I am playing on mainly PS5 to clarify my platform. My choice came to the Mayflash F500, nice price, read some reviews and was happy with it, but with the adapter needed to play on PS5 (and the 2 year warranty just in case), it came close to the same price as the HORI fightstick Alpha Tekken 8 edition. So now I am not sure what to chose, can anyone help me?

I am looking for just a good beginner controller and a good investment. I did examine the HORI fightstick mini, but was deterred as if I did enjoy I would most likely buy another, better fightstick. I also know that the Mayflash is good for customization, which isn’t something I thought of initially but wouldn’t mind dabbling into later on.

Update: Thank you so much everyone for explaining to me their opinions and going into detail with such, I have come to a conclusion. The HORI won !
