Default TWM vs PW JDM

I picked up a TWM Piston recently. I already have a PW JDM and have been eyeing a new knob. This was noticeably heavier (and shorter) and took some getting used to given its shape (compared to the PW JDM). I ordered it without the shift pattern engraved but received one with the it anyway. TWM either did not pay attention or just shipped whatever they had in stock.

Is it worth the $40.00 difference? Meh not completely. You could say TWM took great pains to design this and have great adjustability but the extra difference in weight was not worth it. Although subjective -- it does look better. You decide.
