Yeah, after sitting in your car and trying out the WORKS shifter and how it compared to my TWM, I got to thinking. It makes the most sense because when I adjusted the seat to where I sit and tried your shifter, it felt very weird and awkward (maybe because I was used to the TWM). However the more I thought about it, the more I realized that if the seat was further back and if I could reach it normally, it would be perfect for taller people (such as yourself). I then went through the same thought process with my TWM and I came to the same conclusion but for shorter people.

Given that, I'd recommend the WORKS to taller people and the TWM for shorter people. The thing I haven't figured out yet is at what height is the gray area. You're 6'3" and I'm 5'6", difference of 9". Would someone who is 5'10"-11" have a hard choice between the 2 shifters? I'm thinking that WORKS would still be preferred even at those heights (unless you have really long arms). I'm just going to guesstimate that 5'9" and above is where the WORKS shifter would shine. TWM for 5'8" and below.
