With that being said and from all the good reviews I've read about the MGW shifter I would like to know if its even worth it to switch over or just stick to what I have. Thanks.
from what I've read the hurst billet is better than the pro5.0. Even if they are the same why not get the Hurst to keep a little heritage

It would be more accurate to ask what thread size AND pitch we went with. They have two options - 12mm x 1.75 thread pitch (that would be 1.75mm between threads) and 16mm x 1.5 thread pitch (although they neglect to show the thread pitch on that option on their website). The pitch refers to how fine/coarse the threads are.

I started out with the 12mm x 1.75 handle so I could use one of their gripper *****, which works very well. I also bought the 16mm x 1.5 stick so I could use my stock sized ***** that I already had...I like to switch them out every once in a while.
