Default Best short throw

Hi all, I'm new to the forum with a recently purchased 06 convertible GT. I have searched the posts for opinions on short throw shifters, but thought I would solicit some current advice. Car is not going to the track or anything like that. I'm just looking for a tighter shorter throw. I sold a c4 vette before the Stang and I had a Hurst short throw in it that I was very happy with. Also, is there any difference in the difficulty of installation between brands? Let me know and thanks for your input.

Barton and MGW are the best on the market...

MGW. One of the best mods I've done. The quality is just amazing.

Thanks for the input. After looking at the MGW a little more in depth, it does seem like a great piece of equipment. The amount of adjustability and customization is great. One other question. If you use an option with a flat stick, what do you do for a boot? I can't decode if I want to retain the stock look or go with the flat shifter and round ball. Thanks all!

MGW. Hands down. I've driven most of the competitors (though I haven't personally tried the Barton) and the MGW is just plain well built. The flat stick retains the stock boot.
