Anyone know?

I have the opportunity to buy a used MGW shift. It is 5 years old, does this model include the lower billet or completely different design than new one?

I am not speaking from experience with MGW shifters, but from experience with things in life in general. Is it worth to save $160 buying a used and lesser model? If I were going to buy, $160 saved wouldn't be remotely worth considering.
Buy once, buy right.

I have not driven one of the new ones, but I love my MGW shifter. It is about 5 or 6 years old.

I thought it was a bit notchy, but I did the antivenom mod with one washer and to me it feels great now.

I doubt that you can make a bad choice between your two options. They both should be great.
