Default Short stick questions

Alright, my friends bought me the corvette shift **** for Christmas.



On the stock shift stick it sits way too high.
On my ws6 store short stick, its angled too much to the passenger side(I have a pro 5.0 and the ws6 store stick isn't angled on its threads)

My question is which stick will be as short(prefer shorter actually) than the ws6 store short stick, but be angled towards the drivers side. I'm looking at Lou's short stick or the UMI short stick. Which one would offer a shorter look and which one in general is a better buy? Lou's is around $45 and UMI is around $25, does the price difference justify buying Lou's?

Also intrigued about this, i have the pro 5.0 as well and my shift stick is too big but i don't want one angled toward the passenger either. Last short stick I was offered was for $100+ so both of those sound good.

The UMI short stick is angled just like the pro 5.0 and is like 2 inches shorter IIRC.

Ive had both the UMI and The Lou's (which i have on now) both work well and are angled toward the driver side. Does the UMI stick work with the Pro 5.0? Thought it just worked with the factory hurst short shift...could be wrong though.
