Whats the best Short Throw Shifter for the 370z?

I'm 3 days in on my B&M short shifter and think it may be the best <$200 I ever spent. I found the OEM shifter to be a bit sloppy

I'm 3 days in on my B&M short shifter and think it may be the best <$200 I ever spent. I found the OEM shifter to be a bit sloppy and slow. I also found it too tall for my tastes. The B&M is precise and short and the OEM knob sits at the perfect height on it.

On day one it was a little notchy and required more effort to engage than I would have liked, but I assumed it would settle in. Now, about 150 miles later, it's working in nicely and the notchiness is leaving. I figure another couple hundred miles and we'll be perfect. There is a noticeable notch to engage 6th, which is fine, because there's no need to speed shift into overdrive anyway.

I also appreciate the aluminum construction throughout (the base of the OEM was plastic and the lever itself was clumsy steel).

I really love this shifter. It engages much more crisply than OEM and trains the user to use it right, rewarding him with very fine gear changes available fast.
