Default Short throw shifter selection

Well, I decided to get a short throw shifter for my mustang.
Doing some basic research, I didn't find much, until I came across a review.

So I wanted to share it with you:
http://www.mustang50magazine.com/tec...ers/index.html

Hurst one was the best rated, and that's the one I will probably go through.
However, I would really appreciate some feedback.
An acquaintance of mine has sn-95 and has steeda and likes it, but regrets not getting Pro5.0, and for his car Pro5.0 is very good.

Based on review, Pro5.0 for our s197 isn't that good.

Personally, Pro5.0 for our s197 has too short of a stick, so it will get in the way of the cup holders.
C'mon chime in)))

Pro5.0:

ok so i was going threw the same exact problem as u and i was looking everywere for advice. one of my coworkers who has been working on performance mustangs for longer then ive been alive helped me out along with others on this form, they told me that mgw was the way to go, so i got it, from the moment i installed it ive loved every bit of it, i like it more then the pro 5.0 because its adjustable in both hight and throw, and that it is alot shorter then the 5.0. so that would be my suggestion, MGW is the way to go even though it is slightly pricey, http://mgwltd.com/mustang_shifter.shtml

I have a Roush short throw. (but its in my trunk ) I do not think I am going to put the big stick on it. Just looking to do the under the boot stuff. Plan on installing it in a few weeks.
