Default thoughts on t-handle shifter

hey guys, i want to get rid of my stock crappy looking shift ****. I'm looking at a couple different options and i wanted to get some opinions (yes, i searched). i was wondering if any of you guys have experience with t-handle shifter and what you thought of them. Also, what do you guys think of the hurst ball-type shifter. any input is welcome. thanks.

I had a t handle for a little bit, now I have the Hurst ball. I liked them both, but it pretty much comes down to which one is comfortable for you and which one you think looks better.

It dosent allow you to properly shift the car in comparison to the regular ball/**** design.

I have the T-handle on a Hurst short throw shifter in my '00. I also had one in a '73 Z/28 I used to own (back when you could still buy second generation cars new). I prefer the T-handle over the ball because I can grip the shifter with my whole hand and get a better grip. I also like the way it looks.
