Need Help Picking Short Shifter

I've been looking to buy a short shifter for a while now. Yes, I know B&M is the best but money is tight right now so I'm looking at cheaper alternatives. I've basically narrowed it down to two: this one here and the second here. Does anybody have any experience with either of these? Which of the two would you rather buy and for what reasons? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I dont know about any of those. I have the CE one and its pretty good. I would definitely not buy a cheap one just cuz ur tight on money. I would wait and buy a better one.

i don't understand why some people are just so anxious to do a mod that they would overlook safety and security. If money is tight right now, save up and get a shifter that has been proven and that may very well be more expensive.

cutting ur own doesnt really shorten the throw...its jusr shortens the shifter...the hole point of a short throw shifter is to have shorter more precise shifts

Most definately save up for a B&M. I just installed mine and man is it nice. It almost as smooth as OEM except for trying to get it into neutral which takes a bit of force.
