Does anyone have an aftermarket short throw shifter?

I have an 07 G35S sedan and I know it comes with an OEM short throw shifter. I'm looking to reduce the throw even further and am considering purchasing the B&M short throw shifter for our car. Anyone have this installed? Thoughts/reviews? I've searched for reviews on this forum but responses are pretty scarce.

Also interested in other brands available if there are any.

I've been looking for the same info for my '08. I'll let you know if I find anything.

I've also found one from TWM Performance. I called them and they've said that this one will fit tjhe 07+ G sedan. There's also a good write up about it here.

TWM clearly touts its benefits in comparison to the B&M shifter (check the line by line comparison of features). The only downside is that this thing is about $75 more than the B&M (sold on ebay for $198 shipped), not sure if it's worth it.

Thoughts anyone?

I was looking around some, and found another G forum that was raving on about the Rogue Engineering piece.

They all had bad things to say about the B&M, haven't heard anything about the TWM yet. Only thing about the RE is it only gives 20% reduction.

Yes the few reviews I've read about B&M have all been less than flattering. I've read strong reviews on TWM on other car forums but the price is just a little high. However, they have a permanent 5% coupon out there (TWMNEWS3889) and each time I've PM'd them they've given me a 10% coupon code.

I was searching some more for reviews of the TWM, only saw good things. I also noticed there is a NISMO option as well which is adjustable on the fly (+20%,0,-20%,-40% if I remember correctly). This was a little more expensive than the TWM, so my preference is still for the TWM.
