Now let me say that I though my chopped shifter was good...until I drove down the street with the OBX shifter. HOLY cow is 1st to 2nd short. I almost though that I wasn't in gear as it didn't "feel" right, but sure enough it was. 
That was the feeling I had with th B&M the first time I took off with it... I was like "what the hell happened to 2nd??"
Glad it worked out for ya!
. I personally like the ford emblem on the shift knob.
