IMO if you want a difference it doesn't matter if you get a top of the line or cheapo short shifter, as long as you get some polyurethane bushings you'll be set. i do recommend the BM shifter though, it's not that expensive i got mine from titanmotorsports for about 50, plus bushing came out to about 65. but be warned, the BM is known to rattle, just make sure you throw on a couple of extra o-rings on the bottom of the shifter and you'll be set

rockin' the same setup here. Gotta' say I love it
!
Although the Skunk2 shifter costs more, it came with that little rotating hinge part thingy at the bottom so you don't have to mess with replacing o-rings and parts from the stock shifter. Definitly helped with the installation process. I found a pretty good deal on Ebay: $126 for shifter+weighted shift ****

Ya the skunk 2 shifter has ball bearings instead of rubber bushings.

i had fidanza which was junk, way to short of a throw, shifter height was low and the thing hit my exhaust pipe, my 5.99 "jdm" dual bend steel shifter is perfect going on a year, no problems, doesnt hit the exhausts, the throw is nice, height is a little shorter than stock

to answer your question, the bushings help the feel of the shifter from soft and mushy to more like clicking into the gears, i noticed the biggest difference with the bushings but thats my opinion
