Default Hurst vs. MGW

I have the Hurst shifter as of now. I installed it about a year ago. At first I liked the notchy feel of it, but now it's grown tiresome. Does the MGW have a smoother feel to it?

I've never used an MGW but my buddy recently upgraded from a Hurst to a Pro50 and it was a HUGE improvement... the Pro50 is way better in almost every facet (except price). The Pro50 is probably going to be one of my next upgrades.

I've read many posts from people that have switched from Hurst to MGW. They all liked the MGW better. 'Nuff said.

I went from the Hurst to the MGW. The MGW is a much better unit. I would never go back.

The MGW is adjustable. At the shortest throw, it was a little notchy but not too bad. As you adjust the throw, it gets smoother as it gets longer. I would highly recommend the MGW shifter. I think it's the best on the market by far.
