B&M vs. Pilo Short Shifter

These two shifters look very similar, but the Pilo is about half the price.

Any input on these? Anyone have the Pilo installed?

Thanks!
Miles

Altas are adjustable.

That probably doesnt answer your question though

Oooh, actually it does help me... gives me more options :D

I just worry about the quality of the shifter if it is a cast unit.

ive used the pilo for about 10,000km now without any problems of the casting process... the blue bushings are great help... tho you do feel more gear grind and a bit less smooth when shifting...

lol nothin compared to the new 05 getrag! I WANT 05 tranny!

I have the b&m and the quality is top notch. Also th ekit is very complete, including a new coverpanel for the bottom and all the nuts/bolts and bushings needed. I cant coment on the others since I havent personally used them.
