JHM seems to be most expensive, with B&M second and ToyGuy cheapest... I am not looking for shortest, but smoothest of all...

Default JHM is incredibly notchy, but that's the point. With the stock shifter, you don't FEEL neutral. With

with JHM, shifting is a two step process, you feel going into neutral and into the next gear. *snick* *snick*

Instead of just gliding from gear to gear effortlessly like stock (which feels like my girlfriends 98' Maxima)

I love my Vast. Feels like stock but better. Shorter, faster, tighter etc
