I didn't open your thread link, but do you have experience with the Barton? kinda unfair to label the Barton without prior experience.......
I've run both. His assessment is spot on.

We're actually working with MGW right now for an optional upgrade to their 2014 revision that will make the shifts even better. Should cost less than $30 for those with the 2014 lower box.
Group buy?

I wouldn't hold my breath. MGW sells every one of the MT-82 shifters they can make, I doubt they're interested in discounting them.

Well i have owned both, :thumbsup:
FRPP (Barton) for around 20,000 miles on my 12 GT
MGW for around 3,500 miles on my 13 Boss
There is no comparison anymore in my mind, nothing the Barton did could the MGW not do way better, cleaner, more precise, without thinking any of that period! Go ahead for second best and waste of money or spend the few extra dollars and keep your self out the ditch LOL! Downshifting with the Barton was a nightmare and at times scary due to the shifter never doing the same thing time and time again, its the little things and the smallest changes that could cost you big time and the Barton excelled at being a fail party as far as I'm concerned.
lol sorry but I can't help feel that your Barton experience is a bit if an embellishment they just aren't that far inferior, if inferior at all
If you lived around Lafayette LA i would challenge you to a duel :banana: Hahaha, naw i would invite you to test it out for yourself though and then u could be the judge for yourself. To me every small movement or lack of can make or brake a product such as these shifters and the truth be told the Barton is a good unit vs the factory unit but it just does not compare to the MGW. :beer:
haha I'd like to try out an mgw actually, I enjoy the Barton, I honestly do, I have no issues what so ever with it, but I will admit I've tossed over trying an mgw, but I simply don't have the patience to wait what could possibly be a month for it, my thought is "don't fix something that's not broken" so I stick with Barton, Dave over at Barton has treated me well. in the end, you get more for the money with mgw, but Barton is a great piece too

The MGW is actually about the same price as the Barton shifter and bracket, except you get way more (including a complete shifter) with the MGW.
Also side note. The reason I went frpp SS. Incase I had any issues the dealer couldn't flip me any shit. Being that it's ford branded.

MGW says on their site that their products are officially ford licensed products
