    Barton or MGW on MT82?

    Hi folks,

    When the new GT gets here one of the first things that I will change is the shifter. I have heard great things about the Barton shifter and bracket, as well as the MGW piece. Both units are rather pricey, but from the videos and comments I have seen they are both quality pieces., and by far the best 2 shifters available.

    It seems the Barton gives you the shortest throws and is well-built. And the MGW unit seems to be a sturdier piece ( Barton still pretty sturdy ) with shorter throws than stock, but not as short as the Barton.

    NVH supposedly is very good on either shifter.

    I'd like to see each of these shifters in person and see how they feel before I make a decision. Anyone out there have either on their '11+ 5.0? If so, I'd like to check it out sometime.

    Thanks,

    Ron
