Default Any T56 Shifter suggestions??

I really wanted to pick up a PRO 5.0 shifter for my t56--I driven one before and loved it. I also like the shift stop bolts. Unfortunately, it apparently it has been discontinued. I'm only assuming this means something better is out nowadays?

thanks!!

I personally like the MGW shifters the best. Their build quality is very nice and they feel solid and have a nice centering spring.

Went from factory Hurst to the MGW much better feel especially in the 2-3 shift.

I bought a 6spd and it came with an SLP shifter. Is the MGW shifter better?

That's what I read and I saw amazon stopped carrying it (I have tons of amazon gift cards lol). I see they are still all over the place, but I assumed there must be something better if they discontinued it.. apparently not?
