Does anyone know why I can go to amazon and find t300s for 399 us dollars, and Walmart, and everywhere else new, yet on eBay most are going for 400 to 600?

^^Because E-Bay sellers are a bunch of capitalising (insert favourite swear word here).
They buy wheels for retail or less, then cash in by selling them for around double as there can be stock issues from reputable companies. They do this because they know some people won't wait for a couple of weeks or whatever from the likes of Amazon etc, especially with pCARS coming out soon.

I like the look of the GTE, is there a way I can get the GTE wheel here in america without having to buy the add separately?

If you already have the T500 then theres no reason to get anything else. However, if you do and don't want to spend money on the premium option the get the T300

Well, I've splurged my savings again and now I have a nice, shiny TH8A shifter and a set of T3PA pedals ready for pCARS.
I've tried them on GT6 and found out, even after 25+ years of driving manual cars IRL, I'm bl**dy useless using a H shifter
Just hoping I either get better within the week, or pCARS has a better clutch/shifter implementation than the utterly shocking effort that is in GT6 !

I received my T300 GTE last week after deliberating over if for some time. I have used the T500 a fair bit round and friends and one of the main reasons I didn't want the T5 was the static padels and thought I would prefer the T3 which rotate with the wheel. Now having used it for a week I find that when its going wrong and you having to correct from oversteer it is kinda reassuring to know exactly where the padels are. Just something I'll have to become more accustomed to and better at I guess 
wheel is fantastic though just can't wait to use it with a decent game now.

How noticeable is the diameter difference, from the GT Rim to GTE rim?

I honestly can't give a fair comparison as I've there have been weeks between using the two different wheels and haven't played the same games on both. You feel the t500 is a larger diameter but I've not found either sizing to be a an issue whilst racing.

The clutch in GT is an on/off switch and you'll find it much better in Project Cars. You get used to manual shifting but you really have to get into a rythmn and memorize downshift and braking points at each circuit. Your best best is to try and practice on street cars at first. Less grip means longer braking distances (slower downshifting + more time to get a feel for braking with the toes and blipping the throttle with the heel) and slower acceleration (less frequent upshifting). Really tall 5th and/or 6th gears can mean far less gear changes in a lap than a race car.Well, I've splurged my savings again and now I have a nice, shiny TH8A shifter and a set of T3PA pedals ready for pCARS.

Yes, I've noticed GT6's clutch is either on/off with nothing in between. What I do find with the pedals is much better braking, especially with the conical brake mod fitted. I do heel/toe downshifts driving IRL, so it's nice to get to do it in game too, and the new pedals allow me to do this consistently. I'm not as good as IRL yet, but practice makes perfect as they say.
Another bugbear in GT6 is the inconsistencies with the implementation of H shifting cars. Some manual, stick shift models can only be used if you have standard, non custom ratios ? Fit a custom 'box and you can't use H shift, only sequential paddle shifting. Is this the same in pCARS, or can you override SQ shifting and use H pattern instead ?

In a nutshell, the only real difference between the GTE and RS wheels is the button layout. The wheel base is identical for both models, it's only one is PlayStation branded (RS) and the other Ferrari branded. The 300 series wheels are 100% compatible with the PS4 with the share and option functions of the DS4 controller. The 500 series wheel, whilst it will work with the PS4 in game menus, it doesn't have the share/option functions so you will need to keep the DS4 handy to use these features.
The 500 pedals are a lot better than the 300's not only because of the addition of a clutch pedal, but also in build quality and the two different mounting options. You can upgrade the 300 pedals to the T3PA pro set (basically an updated 500 series set of pedals), or a cheaper option of the T3PA set. Neither the 300 or 500 wheels come with an H pattern shifter, so you'll need to get either a TH8RS or the newer TH8A shifter if you want to go fully manual.
Your final comment of the 500 having no 'vibration' is a bit confusing. It does have force feedback, not vibration (like some cheap, PlayStation wheels you see advertised). The 500 is and older design with a different type of motor than the newer, and some say, better brushless motor of the 300 wheel.
See this forum https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...me-consoles-ps4-xbox-one-ps3-xbox-360.318002/ for a more in depth explanation of the differences.
