If you get the megan, just remember that it DOES have 2 glaring issues with it.
1. The knob isn't threaded all the way, and when you put the knob on the shaft, the shift pattern won't line up correctly. Instead of being like this...

It'll be like this

Or this

Also, because it is NOT threaded all the way to the bottom, you get a shift knob about 1 inch higher than it should be.
Second problem is, you have to put it together on your own, with no instructions. Not a big deal, but it has ONE MAJOR FLAW. Because there are no instructions, you may not use locktite like you should on the center pivot point. If you don't, that pivot point will work lose while shifting, and your shifter WILL FALL APART WHILE DRIVING.
Not exactly safe.
Even if these problems were fixed, the ARK would still win in my opinion.
The ark knob is much nicer.
The finishing work on the ARK is much nicer.
It comes pre assembled, with a spare lower bushing, and an optional extension/trim ring.
It comes in a nice box, trival to some, but it's nice to see a company respect their own product.
