Pros:
Looks Beautiful, Goes well with interior, Nice and heavy for smoother shifting
Cons:
expensive, annoying to install, rattles
I bought the Chrome and Leather version of this knob after being talked into getting it over the popular race air leather knob. it took driving styles 2 weeks to get the order right and they still managed to spill transmision fluid all over the box.
I do like the knob a lot, it looks nicer than any other part of my interior (which is saying a lot) and the feel while driving is just great. It's nice and heavy and feels soooo smooth. also it sits low further reducing the throw of the shifter.
after about a week it developed this annoying rattle. at first I thought one of the set screw used to install it came loose. I took it apart but that wasn't the problem. I still dont know what it is or how to stop it so I try to ignore it. Asside from that the cost is pretty steep for a hunk of metal and some leather.
and...
order online...
EDIT: Turns out that rattling was a loose alen screw on the top of the knob... what I thought was solid aluminium with fake alen bolts was really a multi piece part held to gether with polished alen screws.... some lock tight and no more rattles... my impression of this product has improved.

Pros:
sits lower (shorter throw), looks nice
Cons:
rattles loose, finish came off
I was happy with the product until after 20k mi when the finish came off, natural aluminum my arse! Their natural aluminum finish wears off, what lies beneath is beyond me (pot metal probably).
Big hunk of metal feels great for slamming gears, sits lower=shorter throw, universal fit (switched from my brother\'s \'stang to my werx), generally happy with the product but took it off my car because looked and crap after a while and it rattles loose alot.
