What is a great shifter for the T56 Magnum in a 69 Camaro?

I like the feel of the MGW

Ive heard alot of good things about the MGW, as well as the pro 5.0.. some people get the pro 5.0 and put a Hurst or other stick on it and love it, and it looks like your standard shifter. The MGW is cool but if its exposed like if you don't have console it might look weird..

I chose a pro 5.0 and really like it so far. Most Cobra guys run the MGW and love it too.

I've asked around on this topic a bunch. No clear consensus. Drove a std t56 w the Pro 5.0 and liked it. Supposedly the Magnum has a upgraded, nice shift feel to it so I'm going to try that first...

McLeod/Red Roberts have the Slik-Stik - I'm considering it because of the many offset shifter position options for my 66 Nova. There in Placentia (SoCal) I believe. Thought I'd go by and check them out. What little feedback I've gotten was positive.

MGW. Its tight and a bit of work to shift (as it should be), but the best thing since sliced bread. Had them in all my cars after running the gambit of shifters. I've got one in my 67 w/ T56 now.
