I've just got the standard MGW shifter and an MGW ball. I actually like a longer throw, some of these short shifters are way too short for my taste. This shifter is still shorter throw than stock, but not so short I can't tell gear I'm in. The biggest improvement is simply the way the shifter feels and operates. No mushy shifts, it cured my occasional 1-2 upshift lockout, i'm super happy with it.
This is exactly what I went for with my MGW. I didn't want super short shifts, I never felt the factory shifter had long exaggerated throws. Tightening up the slop and preventing gear lockout is what I was after and the MGW performs excellent there. I haven't missed a gate once since swapping to the MGW.

Yea I’m going to go with x-spec standard height. You guys think the stainless clutch line is worth it too? Seems like I might as well do it the same time

I went with a race spec standard. It's shorter that OEM but not too short. I had a shop install it during a trans re-build under my extended warranty. I now have about 500 miles on it since the install and initially I was not impressed. The shifter is really stiff when new, finding reverse it a pain, it won't go through the gears as fast as the original, and when shifting from 5th it's really easy to hit 4th instead of 6th. I'm getting used to it and it is getting smoother as I drive it more, Overall it's better than the stock shifter but not the huge difference I was expecting.
