Any differences in weight between the two?

...Or vs. stock?

[Aaaaaaaaa]

I was going to weigh them but I was too anxious to install. They felt roughly the same weight. I think they're heavier than stock.

Thanks for the comparison.
I love the look of the LCI one. But I’m already so used to my MP one.

Buuuuuut I might pick one up anyways

To clarify what you said, the LCI knob DOES light up?

Yes it does light up.

Is it taller than stock? Does it change the throws?

I never had stock so I wouldn't know. Definitely feels different compared to the shorter one.

Would you mind sharing which feel you prefer and why (I realize this is subjective)?

Only had for one day so far so I'll post more when I've had more seat time. But initial thoughts:
- Aesthetically the LCI is nicer. Lights up, has the Tri-color stitching, feels nice.
- Functionally I think the short knob is a bit better. It's shorter so throws are a bit shorter and the knob is smaller and symmetrical so it accommodates different palming styles. I can also feel the gear engagement a bit better with the shorter knob. The LCI knob kinda forces you to grab it with a pistol grip.
- I'll try it out for a few weeks and see how I like it. Maybe I'll end up doing what everyone does and getting the iND one that uses the OEM knob and Tri-color stitching alcantara boot.

The LCI knob looks kind of cool it just appears so tall and bulky that it likely detracts from the shifting feel as noted by the OP.

M performance one looks more subtle and sporty

[Aaaaaaaaa]

The knob is growing on me. I like how it lights up lol

[shay2nak]

Thanks for the write up! Just wish the LCI was black and not silver.

[NorCal f80]

yea not a fan of lci knob

[bonsta101]

not a fan. installed mine yesterday and it doesn't feel as good as the original. sure, it looks nice but the positioning I'm used to you can't do on this shape of knob.

I'll give it some time to see if I'll grow into it.

The shorter one....as other member states “It's shorter so throws are a bit shorter and the knob is smaller and symmetrical so it accommodates different palming.”
