What's the top of the B&M shift knob look like?

Does it have a B&M logo, or does it have the shift pattern engraved on it? If it has the shift pattern, do they send you a different knob, depending on whether you have a 5-speed or a 6-speed?

I know TWM has the shortest height, but I've seen a few comments that the B&M actually has a shorter throw. Is that true?

A lot of people recommend TWM, but can anyone provide any details as to WHY to get either TWM or B&M over the other?

I dont think so...b&m knobs are bigger around at the base, and these knobs are made to screw directly on.

Why people don't use a standard for these things is beyond me. Life and modding would be so much easier.

i am considering a shifter, but the trd includes a knob and a full shift assembly for about the same price, overall which is the best, not for the heighth, but for the smooth shift and sturdiness? please help!!
