Default short throw shifter opinions

After researching what I want next for my car it has come down to short throw shifter, I installed one on my previous car and it was sweet, BUT I don't want a shifter that is going to feel too clicky, most say they reduce throw by 60% and that, to me, seems like it would be too much, BUT the throw on the mustang is prety long to begin with so I guess what im asking is for one that is going to be quality but not too short of a throw that its like an on off switch, I kinda like tossing that stick around.

MGW is fairly comfortable and does not "click" when it goes into gear. It does have a very strong centering spring so you have to wrestle with the shifter to get it into 1st, 5th, and Reverse.
