Default Hurst shifter any regrets?

I've seen on some posts that B&M has bought out Hurst. Before the inventory depletes I'd like to get a Hurst shifter. I love the retro look it gives the car plus any shifting improvements would be a plus. I had a Honda S2000 nailed until I missed 3rd gear, then I just let off ...like maybe next time dude, when in reality I struggled to find 3rd gear. I know it's a little notchy from previous posts, but how's the 2nd to 3rd shifts. The stock shifter sux A$$ bigtime. I'd also like to swap out the white ball for a T-handle, only because I grip the shifter like I'm strangling a snake. I guess what I'm asking is...is the Hurst shifter any good?

The Hurst is great, but get Poly Motor mounts too If you always want to find 3rd.

The hot new player in the shifter game is the new MGW shifter. It was just released and from everything I read about it, it is in a league all it's own. Mine is on order.

How hard a job is it to replace the motor mounts? In my Jeep Wrangler the passenfer side was a nightmare.

I think the hurst inventory has been depleted, from what I hear they are redesigning it. It definately has the looks of a great shifter, but it's the stock shifter with a shorter throw. I'm highly satisfied with my Steeda Tri-ax (Originally wanted a hurst but they were sold out.) I've no problem finding any of the gears.

Three bolts per side. Have to jack the motor up a bit the get the stock mounts out. I pulled the engine side brackets off too since I was installing Longtubes at the same time and it gives more room to work on the headers.

I really like the short throw of the hurst, its a little notchy ( stock was so smooth) it feels like you can shift so much faster, plus I have not seen anything that looked as cool.

I got the Hurst Comp+ shifter and have no issues with it. You can go through all 5 gears with the flick of your wrist and your elbow on the console.
