Short Shifters! Pro Billet vs. Kartboy

I'm ready to purchase, but wanted some feedback first.
Which do you recommend?
Is the Kartboy worth the extra money?
I'm combining this with the shift springs if that makes a difference.

The BPS shifter I got to try out felt fantastic .. and on paper it has a better reverse lockout mechanism. You also get a free rear bushing. It really sells itself.

Can the reverse lockout be replaceable in the Kart Boy Short Shifter? I own a beatrush reverse lockout ring that I want to use.

Short shifter lock outs are not changeable due to the design. Only way to get a color option is to go with a BPS shifter right now.
