Just wondering for those who have the MGW shifter, which handle do you prefer for powershifting? Is the red handle noticeably easier (effort-wise) to shift with? If so, I'm wondering if the trade-off between less effort and slightly longer throws might be worth it? I have the blue handle and am wondering if my powershifts could be quicker with an easier throw.

I had the blue handle, but my arms are too short, so they exchanged it for a red handle. The red handle is much easier for me to powershift, not only because I can reach better, but since the handle is a bit longer, there is more leverage when shifting. The shorter the handle is, the less leverage you'll have...then again, the travel is also farther. The red handle brings the shift knob closer to you by about an inch.

i would say the red just because of the extra leverage. i have the red but havent powershifted it so im not certain.
