Default MGW Shifter-quik review

Got it this morning....opened the box....Oh my Goodness! This thing is a work of art! I asked for the C6 off set with a threaded shaft. No problem
and that is the way it came. It sets up great and now the shifter is right at my hand and I don't have to move the seat up just to comfortably reach the shifter. Hell, the tools they supply are even first rate. Since I have installed many shifters it took about 45 minutes.
All I can say is.....WOW this is THE BEST SHIFTER out there. I have had them all and this is the be all and end all of aftermarket shifters. Good going guys now make more stuff for the vette!

Can you be more specific as to what makes it better than Hurst,Kirban,B&M,etc? I have a Hurst with the anti-venom mod. The only improvement I can imagine would be less side-to-side pressure,and I don't see how a shifter could achieve that without a longer throw.
