I am not an expert, but I had the Tri-ax installed 5 months ago. Very secure, spring assisted to third - never ever miss. Notchy is a good way to describe. Much shorter travel/throw. No increase in noise. The shop that installed it made sure to adjust the stops and took care to reinstall with the idea of keeping it quiet.

Back in June when I was deliberating on Steeda Sport vs Tri-ax, I asked Marcelo at SilverHorse for his opinion. He recommended the sport. He said something like, 'unless you really work your machine hard the Tri-Ax is overkill.'

So of course I bought the Tri-ax!

I have the Steeda Tri ax for a year now. shifts great. If the MGW was out at the time I would have gotten that one thow- due to past experience with MGW, but I have no complaints with my tri ax and i use it as a daily driver.

I think the short shifter is a good option even for a daily driver. I thought the stock shifter was too ambiguous. The Hurst shifter I put in is a lot more sure-footed. Like people are saying, it's a matter of personal preference.
