Too short or not to short, Short Shift Kit - which one? Options

[tracks914]

My tranny has been redone. (syncos, gaskets and syncro hubs cleaned up)
My bushings have all been redone.
My shafts have been rebuilt.
But I'm still not happy with my shift pattern. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif)
I have not replaced my reverse lock out springs ...yet and when the tranny is cold, on the first shift, I sometimes still nick reverse.
When the tranny is warm, sometimes I hit 3rd instead of 1st. (too often, although I did it in my brothers Jetta too this week)
I am thinking of putting in a short shift kit (along with Wieltmiester reverse lockout springs) and see different models for sale.
Has anyone used the different models?
Is it worth almost twice the price for the one peice over the weld in the socket type?
Any thoughs????
