Thoughts on the B&M short shifter

Looking for any feedback you all may have regarding the B&M short shifter. Best price I have found thus far is $199 / free shipping from LMPerformance. Thanks for your time...

I have the B&M shifter and like it. I got it from Jeg's for about $180-ish.

I bought mine off of e-bay 2 years ago. It's been good, but when you install it, LOCKTITE EVERY BOLT YOU TOUCH! I had to go back in 4 months after the install because some of the bolts loosened up.

The biggest mistake to make when installing the B&M is to use the locktight that is provided with the shifer. Go buy some ultra super duper high strength stuff.

I can beat that price, if you really want one.

Sharp looking shifter, but I'm just not a fan of the "bridged" design. Definatly looks more sturdy than the factory shifter, though.

aftermarket shifter

I am looking to upgrade my shifter, but I just don't know which one to get. The Gmm ripshifter looks great, but the B&M is much cheaper. I am happy to pay a few more bucks for better performance, but if there is little difference..... I would appreciate any thoughts on the issue.
