All good except reverse is in the wrong spot

Well I had a T-handle and hated it, so that's not an option.

Your right.... my bad.... If you have to look at your shifter **** to know where your gears are at...it could be a snag.....

As noted, in the past, they did make a 4-speed ball with a button, and the reverse in the proper location.
Actually, all of the new shift ***** are made pretty cheaply compared to the old *****. I have an old Hurst 4-speed ball on my '64 and the color is a creamier shade of white. But more importantly, the shift pattern is engraved into the ball and colored in, whereas the new ones are simply stamped on the surface.

I bought my shifter last year and the shift pattern is engraved into the ****.
