I find it distracting to have to constantly adjust to the two different pedal movements, something I never seemed to have to do on top pivot gas pedals.
Hanging from top is much easier, i find myself adjusting my foot but you get used to it after a while.

I honestly can't tell any difference between the two pedal types.

Though, I prefer the looks of the floor-mounted pedal (like we have in the Z).
