I've had both in my car. I can honestly say that I prefer the pro 5.0 over the B&M any day. I cut about an inch and a half off of it and I absolutely love it.

don't buy the short stick, just cut off an inch off the stick from the 5.0. There are plenty of threads to remove that much. I wasted my money on a short stick and didn't even use it...waste of money.

I have a B&M and have never missed a shift. My friend has a pro 5.0 that i will be puting in his, but if its like the one for the five speeds then i think its to short for my taste.

never been a pro 5.0 fan, it's just not comfy for me, I've not put the B&M in my car yet, but I had one in a 3rdgen an absolutely loved it, however I've driven an LS1/T56 f-body with the ripper, and one with the 5.0 and I much preferred the ripper...
imo you can't beat what B&M has done with their shifters, some prefer slightly shorter sticks but some people have slightly shorter arms, or slightly different driving styles... but even right out of the box I think it's perfect for me

I hope that B&M puts more quality into their Fbody shifter than the GTO piece of **** they made. I had tons of problems with it and was actually relieved when it broke in half on me after less than 6 months of use! Unless something drastic changes with their quality control...I will never purchase another B&M product.
