If you want a stick that you can switch out, you'll need to get the Pro 5.0. Otherwise, it is 6 of one, half dozen of the other (they both get good reviews).

Guess I'm the only weird one that likes the B&M better, but I've only driven a 5.0 equipped car once...

I've got a factory hurst with a LSS short stick and its okay. I drove my buddies car with the Pro 5.0 at the track. I had never driving the car before got in it, made a pass, and run quicker than he did in his own car!
