Unless something has changed a dog box is meant for hard shifting racing.
We found that the dogs got worn out every couple of race weekends and had to pull the trans to change them regularly.
To drive on the street or even around the paddock without shaking your teeth loose and offending your ears with gear noises is not easy. Each shift requires jamming the dogs together to engage the gears. The dogs are expendable.
If you can rev match perfectly-- ie shift without using the clutch go for it.
I would highly suggest getting a ride in a car with a dog box before spending the money on the change untested by yourself.
Sometimes called a drivers dream and a mechanic nightmare.
