Default Transmission (Not Engine) Mount

I'm planning on doing a new clutch, LWFW, and FDM's SSK and Goldenrod soon, and I'm considering swapping the transmission mount, as well. I already have Wevo blue pillow engine mounts, and I didn't really perceive any increase in NVH after the switch from stock mounts, but I did like the enhanced, tighter feel from the back of the car.

I'm disinclined to pay EUR ~250 (plus shipping) to get the RS from Carnewal when there are probably similar (superior?) offerings available at lower prices.

Does anyone have specific experience with one brand or another that they can direct me toward (or away from)? The car is my DD, so I think a solid mount is probably out of the question.

Thanks

I have semi-solid mounts in mine (pretty much solid, but with a little polyurethane in them).
The increase in NVH from the transmission mount is much more apparent than from doing the engine mounts, but the tightness of the shifter and the feedback from the car also increased dramatically as well.

If you can find someone near you with a semi-solid I would try to take a ride in one before making the choice. I would not go back to stock.

Do you recall which particular mount you used? Is there a particular "go to" like with so many other mods?

Turbokraft do a semi-solid tranny mount which is substantially cheaper than OEM RS but likely with more NVH.
