Icon2 Any difference between Blackworks Shiftknob and Skunk2?

Blackworks BWAC-0222-GM 10x1.5 mm Weighted Shift **** 440 Grams
vs.
Skunk2 627-99-0080 10x1.5 mm Weighted Shift **** 440 Grams

They are just about identical, except the BWR is on sale right now for $33 and the Skunk2 is about $54. Does the Skunk2 have a nicer finish or something? I do like the Skunk2 logo on the bottom better, but for the $20 difference I can make the BWR one work. I love my 3rd gen Eclipse one because its so heavy, so I'm down to try this one out.

Yeah, I figured as much. I thought either the BWR was a rebadged Skunk2, or maybe the Skunk2 had a better finish to it that wasn't too visible through pictures. However, when it comes to shift *****, I'll pay more for a weighted one. Having used lighter ones and heavier ones, the difference in shift feel is worth it for me.

Its a hunk of metal. Knowing Skunk2...they're probably made in the same place in Taiwan.
