Amazing how much easier it is to shift with the Contour weighted knob, but its so easy that its almost worrying what its doing to the linkages/trans. I can easily slot into gears the normal shift knob would force me to double clutch into...
The circuit is not much heavier than stock. I think maybe 50grams more. Based on what you said you like hearing - this might be perfect. I think the shape is really amazing - mainly use overhand palm grip, but because it's a sphere / with a column you can hold it in a variety of positions very comfortably. Probably my favorite shifter I've ever used.

It feels nice, but heavy is never a word that I would describe to use it. Everyone that's tried it have said they really the way it felt. The price is a little offputting, but it's super nice quality.
