I have a is so the M sport perforated squared shifter and ordered the ZHP one. I'm starting to think there is no other difference than the shape of the shifter... I hope there is though.

Did you end up upgrading it?
Did you end up with the ZHP? Is it much of a difference over M-Sport?

I have M-Sport perforated one right now. I can't seem to find a definitive answer whether or not its weighted as well. Not gonna spend $90 on something if there is barely any difference other than shape.

Hey yes did end up with ZHP.

Weight honestly it's hard to tell because my M sport perforated doesn't separate from the shift boot and I paired my ZHP with the alcantara booth.

But from a "butt dyno" standpoint I think it does weight a bit more and definitely feels nicer IMO than perforated leather.

How does the actual shifting feel? I'm getting the dinan ssk so thought it might pair nicely with a heavier knob. But sounds like not much of a difference.

I tried to weight both for you honnestly they seem to weight pretty much the same. Within 5 grams of eachother. I let the leather portion of the M sport hang off the scale to not affect to much.

Even the height is similar. But the ZHP does feel nicer in hand IMO and shifting.

who's the guy? I'm actually looking for a ZHP knob that illuminates, and just found out that I need a shift boot. Where can I find that ?
