Default Hurst or MGW

for the V6 is the MGW worth $100 more?

i know there are other shifters but this poll is just between these two.

I was hardcore Hurst, but then I went over to the MGW side.

... so I would say MGW.

However, both are great.

I've only tried the MGW and it is fantastic. Can't comment on the Hurst. There are quite a few guys that have made the switch to MGW from Hurst but I have never seen a post of someone going the other way.

My Hurst developed a rattle after3 months that was so bad that I didn't enjoy accelerating in the car. Brenspeed swapped it out under warranty for me. However I went with the Steeda because I didn't want to have the same problem again. The Hurst is really cool to shift and if you have one that lasts the life of the car it would be all good. Brenspeed told me that they have seen the rattling problem a lot with the Hurst. In mine it wasn't just normal buzz from firmer bushings. It was a defect.

I've only had the Hurst. It was professionally installed and has no vibration, noise or any issues. Click, clack ratchet feeling when shifting that I love. No regrets.

I went with the MGW. I figured something that gets used that much deserves another $100, however, I've never driven with a Hurst. I based my decision off of the amount of complaints I read on here and I saw more with the Hurst.
