Default Short Throw Shifters

Hey, I'm looking into a STS and was wondering if you can help me out. What do you have? How do you like it? Where'd you get it? How much?

From what I've tried to find so far, MGW is top notch. Anyone tried the MGW and Hurst that can compare?

All and any opinions are welcome and thank you in advance.

I have the Steeda Tri-ax. It's very sturdy, but the throws are not that short.

Actually, I'm thinking of selling my Tri-ax shifter and either going back to stock or getting the Steeda sport shifter. The Tri-ax is really made for someone who slams the gears...not the daily driver.

I have the MGW with a Roush shift handle. Love the smoothness and the shorter throws. I paid around 300 for mine through MGW.com They also have great customer service.

I want to get the MGW, but why does it have to be $300? Know of anyone selling one? Maybe I'll order it tomorrow night after a few cocktails.
