After using the SC for about six months as my almost-exclusive controller, only reverting to my 360 controller when the SC won't work for some reason or another, I'm far more precise and fast with the SC.

Consider that you've probably been playing shooters for years with the joystick, it takes a lot of time to master an input scheme. I had over 10 years of dual analog experience, starting with Halo CE, and already after 6 months I'm far better with the SC than I was with the joysticks.
