btw, most short shifters dont help anything because the increased shift effort/time it takes to locate gear negates out the shorter throw

That is completely false.
I have a short throw and have zero issues getting in/out of gear quickly. All a short throw on this car really does is remove any rubber/soft spot on the shifter and replaces it with firmer material. This gives a more precious feeling of shifting in/out of gear and I know exactly if I am in gear or not.
