different RS Shifter length?
I recently purchased a short shifter kit from a rennlister. I believe that's the FDM kit. with the heim joints. FDM kit modified the RS shifter to use to the heim joint. upon receiving the kit. I found that the FDM kit shifter is shorter than the RS shifter, I have a RS shifter in procession to compare the two. I've also compare the RS shifter to a FDM kit that Mr.alex bought. Both of the shifter are the same length.
So, any chance that the FDM kit I bought has a different version of the RS shifter? I do like the taller version of the two better

Based on the pivot position of the FDM shifter, I'd say it won't give you the short shifting that you desire.
The factory short shifter will give you short shifting but it isn't a dramatic difference. The shifter is longer from the pivot up to lessen shifting effort.

Ooops, I was looking at the wrong picture. I think you'll get the same short shifting from both shifters but the FDM one will have higher effort. It would be worth a try.
