blox - ball or billet

so i am going to buy a shift knob..probably one of the blox ones..since i heard good things from people on this board and a couple of friends of mine.

given both knob weighing the same..and it is the stock shifter (not short shifter)..which would be better: the ball type knob or the billet type knob? advantages/ disadvantages?

these are the ones im considering:

Blox Racing Torch Blue Shift Knob

Blox 490 Spherical Shift Knobs


or should i just do spoon? but they are too light i think..

Spoon Sports Shift Knob

Same thing, just whichever feels more comfortable in your hands. A different shaped shift knob will not affect shifting assuming its the same weight. Its a just a shift knob...

yea I remember having a skunk knob, whatever weight they are it felt like a bajillion lbs compared to a stock one n shifting is so much easier...not that it's anywhere near difficult in a fit lol.
