The 1st **** I replaced was the Evo-R. I had it for about 6 months or so. I loved the Ti-finish. Liked the way it felt more precise. It feels only slightly heavier than stock. But eventually I needed a change. My interior is bone stock so with the Ti-finish stuck out too much. Also I didn't like how sometimes the Home Depot plumbing washer slips out slight out of place between the shift boot and the **** itself.
Today, I received the ***** from Forged Performance. The grip feels a tad bit smaller than Evo-R but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I'm really digging how the **** blends in so well with the interior. Shifting feels 10x more precise than my previous ones (esp. going into reverse). Feels a lot heavier and I'm assuming because of the attached washer that is included on it. Looks like I'll be sticking to this **** for a long long time.

Great choice...I've had mine for awhile, and anything else feels really sloppy.
It just really clicks into the gates and you always know what gear you're in. You can lightly shift with your wrist and let the weight of the **** do the rest.

^ Couldn't agree with you more.
Now that the weather is cooling down, I really can't say at this point but one thing I'm concerned about is how hot the forged **** is going to burn my hand during the summer in Texas. Yes, Evo-R kept my hand nice & crispy during then too.

OMG!! ROFL!!!!!
Sorry I was thinking of something else.

I had the Evo-R **** for a while, switched it back to stock after a month or so. I prefer the feel of the stock one. To each his own.
I did try to pick up a used Forged **** a few times but they always sold too quickly.
