I had this done and swapped in a slightly nicer and lower sitting knob (detailed here: DIY OEM Shift Boot Install on Automatic and here DIY OEM Shift Boot Install on Automatic )

Makes use of the shifter work much more intuitively -- I use that now more than the paddles -- love it

I did this too, it's much better that way (push forward to downshift, pull back to upshift). I still use the paddles mostly, but sometimes the shifter. In the long run I'm moving to steering wheel buttons (red downshift on the left, green upshift on the right, like the paddles), but I haven't finished that project yet!
