I knew about the reason for the shifter being so high... I just thought the back/forth movement required to switch gears seemed comparable to a B&M shifter. Your hand does get to it faster, and as long as you get it past the notch on the ring you're right, no more missed shifts!
I wonder how this feels when syncros are starting to go on a tranny... Does it just buck before the gear and you don't know if you're in neutral so that you can double-clutch the thing???
