I know there has been the ongoing shifter debate of this vs that but now that I have had experience with the Hurst and now MGW I just want to say that there is no comparison. The MGW is better in every way except for maybe looks. I had the Hurst first and had issues downshifting into 2nd, finding first when in a hurry and the occasional 3rd gear jam. Plus it was way too tall and was awkward when using 5th and 6th. Plus I would get this 1st to 4th thing like my car had the skipshift feature when shifting at low speed and RPMs.
The MGW shifts so smoothly, has a nice short throw and short handle. Reverse is a no brainer with the push down feature back and downshifting is easy as well as hitting 3rd every time (well almost but its probably me). It also feels solid and bulletproof.
So the bottom line is the only reason to go with a Hurst is if you like that old school look and the longer shifter handle. Or if you drive like your dad and just take things slow.
