Default Is it worth switching from hurst to MGW?

I have an old hurst shifter and am wondering if it is worth the money to switch to an mgw. Is it really that much better? This is one area where i dont want to skimp. Anyone have experience with both?

I've read a lot of posts where people switched from Hurst to MGW. Not one was sorry.

I have an MGW and I love it.

Personally, I think the Hurst is a good shifter and it looks great. If you are happy with the way it works, there is no reason to change it.

The MGW is a better made shifter. It is more adjustable and provides shorter throws. You can adjust how short the throw is, how notchcy it feels and the postion of the shift ****. It is more expensive but you get what you pay for with this shifter.
