I would like a short throw, but the stock one is pretty short. I think the shift bracket is what causes most of the missed shifts.
Here is the barton:
Here is stock:
Think that would make a difference?

What he said. But since you asked, I bought the Barton Shifter and Bracket but just installed the bracket. I wanted to see if it made a difference and it does. The shifter is still in the box and has been for months. Might sell it might put it on the car.

Just installed the Steeda shifter with stock tranny mount and will go back with stock shifter and use a Steeda tranny mount. Don't like the way the car shifts right now. I'm fighting it all the time, very hard to get into gears and not to mention the additional NVH which is annoying.

Don't sweat it, we'll take good care of you ! 
I say do the tranny mount first and see how you like it. In my case i should've started with the tranny mount only, but did the shifter and stock bracket first and not liking it at all. So for me the stock shifter with Steeda urethane bracket will do just fine thank you.

I want to change the bracket regardless. HAVE YOU SEEN THE STOCK ONE!
Ford and NERF teamed up to make this thing. So flimsy. And the zip ties are just the icing on the cake. haha

My actual UPR ( Actually JHR ) bracket is going to be returned as soon as i get the call tag. They couldn't not provide me with a urethane bushing, they only ship with the Delrin bushing which is as hard as rock . Not good for NVH if you ask me. The Steeda one offers you two different types of polyurethane bushings.

I actually got the UPR (JHR) bracket with urethane bushing and haven't notice any increase in NVH. They key is to get the one with urethane bushing if available, if not skip it. I guess the advantage of the Steeda bracket is that you get both bushing but then you end up paying for an extra bushing that you will throw away any way.

Update: I swapped out the UPR to the Steeda mount today. Big difference in NVH!! With the red bushing there no additional noise now. Sounds as it did stock. With the UPR there was a constant whooshing sound in the cabin that was unbearable at times with the windows up.
Anyone on the fence between the two, save yourself the aggravation and spend the extra $15 on the Steeda. Steeda has a sale on it now for $69.99 shipped!
Thank you Steeda for restoring my sanity!
