I've got the TT one - I like it very much.  It doesn't reduce side throw
(which may be why it's so much cheaper) which, in my opinion, is a good
thing - the side throw is pretty short already.  It may make your shifting
feel even notchier, though.  I have trouble getting into first some of the
time; I've heard that the weighted shift rod can improve this drastically.
