I paid 179.00 plus I had to ship it to canada (20 bucks) and the costoms (35 bucks) but man it was worth it.

You wont need to do all that it will be the 179 plus like $10 to ship

and I found the blue and red handles on ebay (lucked out there)

I had the MGW with the orange handle in my Cobra, by far the best shifter Ive ever had. The fox I bought came with a pro50 and it fits the car well, I like it but MGW FTW!
