Anybody Use the Short Shifter From Schnell?

Gentlemen -

Was leaning towards pursuing a SSK from B&M, but was alerted that Schnell also offers a SSK. Spoke with the distributors, and it seems that the product is almost identical to the B&M SSK.

Here is the website:

http://www.vertexauto.com/shortshift/

Priced very attractively at $159. Wanted to know if anybody has installed / used the Schnell piece, and what the opinions are - especially relative to the B&M SSK.

Many thanks

The defacto standard around this 'hood is the B&M. Go with what is proven.

Can't you get the B&M for under $200 anyway?

B&M are around the $230 price range these days, Brandywine had them for $199 some time ago but now being sold for $229.

This item looks like the one being offered by FVD....Evan any comments?

Awww, shucks Eric, you're probably right, but I'm a sucker for a good deal. -

I've ordered one, and will report back once installed.
