$199 @ Brandywine but they don't offer it often--check Ebay!

Just managed to get through to eBay. Some selection but most are around $220 - $235 + shipping. Would rather buy from an established dealer.

$235 from b&m store on ebay 2 days ago. Called around to see who can do installation and got 3 quotes ranging from 2 hours to 3 hours of labor !!!!!!!!! Guess, I will try to do it myself but I'm so no good with tools but since everyone says its easy, I'll give it a whirl! Its not the price of the b&m you should be concerned with but rather the installation!

Been considering buying one for a while now. Vividracing, a Rennlist sponsor, is selling at $220. If the best deal on eBay is $199, I rather buy from Vivid. Patronize your own, 'ya know?

Interesting - what is the reduction in throw?

Anybody here used it? C4S Surgeon, have you? Comparisons to the B&M shifter would be appreciated.

I saw it at a porsche shop, identicle to the BM, just yellow. Should be the same throw reduction as BM.
