I like my Steeda Tri-Ax. It has a nice short throw, and i never miss a gear. I haven't had others to compare it to, but i really have no desire to. It does the job great for me.

iv heard alot about the tri ax and iv heard some ppl say they like the mgw has nebody had that or better yet both (or any other shifters ya wana tell me bout)
this is as far as MGW goes and STS in general. CliffyK is a good guy to ask about shifters. the reason i know about this thread is becase it is me he is talking about in his post. im planning on getting an MGW myself.
I run a B&M short throw shifter solely for the positive stops just for insurance.
They do have a more precision feel but honestly I hate the "short throw". This is not marvel engineering. They basically decreased the leverage you have on the transmission in exchange for a shorter throw. Shorter throw equals a notchier feel.
The best combination I've found is an aftermarket shifter with a lengthed handle. I've extended mine 1.5". So I have the stops, the precision, the leverage and reduced notchiness.

alot of people rave over the MGW, i have never used one personally though. i used a pro 5.0 and didnt care for it, my buddy got a triax a long time ago and i liked it so its what i bought for my car.

well any true short throw is not made for comfort in mind. just for performace, from what i have gathered. getting a shortthrow will be notchier and noiser. its a mustang not a luxury cruiser depends on what you want for your car
