Default A4 short shifter recommendations?

I have a 99.5 1.8Tq, any recommendations for a relatively inexpensive short shifter???

What type and where?

Default Is it a push-down type?

If it is, it will be more expensive. I couldn't decide between UUC or Neuspeed, until I found out that the Neuspeed gets rid of the push-down.
The UUC and Neuspeed are priced about the same.

The cheapest one I found was at Greedspeed, and I talked to Eric at Supreme Power Parts and he beat Greedspeed's price

Neuspeed is a much greater reduction in throw.

I heard the cheap UUC one doesn't have a push down reverse. Is this true? Neuspeed one feels smooth

I have driven both the UUC and the Neuspeed, and prefer the Neuspeed kit.

Default Neuspeed vs. stock comparison

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/12130/neu_ss.jpg"></center><p>You can see it is shorter on the top, and longer on the bottom, which is what reduces the gear throw. This is the one to replace the push-down type shifter.

Default 5 spokes were used on 97s w/sport package.

IMHO, they are the best looking sport wheel, with the possible exception of the new ones.
