Always appreciate your input, Dale! If you have any, please provide some recommendations in current production.

The Razo leather shift **** is a good way to go -
400g weight and rather subtle looking. Razo ***** come with nylon inserts, you put them into the **** depending on the size of the shift lever and secure it with a screw inside. Then, you screw the **** onto the shift lever and it cuts thread into the nylon insert. Works extremely well and makes for a solid connection that can be removed and re-installed easily. It also has 2 different height settings when you put the insert in.
They also have some nice metal ***** that are weighted -
Only downside is they get HOT in the sun. Like so hot you can't drive the car. Some like the look/feel regardless and just put a cap or something over the **** to keep it out of the sun.

You want weighted, you’ll definitely get it with this one. It’s 1.5 pounds of straight metal. Feels like you could put a dent in someone’s skull if you used it as a ball and chain. I used it for a while comboed with a C’s short shifter.
Spherical Shift **** - BLACK [MAZ-SPH-6RUL-BLK] - $80.00 : James Barone Racing, Aftermarket Performance
I’ve also had an old Arc titanium ball **** and found it nice. It never got hot even when under the sun. It was lightweight though.
Currently I’m using an old Veilside shift ****, which feels like my favorite so far.

I have a bunch of *****, but like the Cobb **** a lot. Its not that light and the covering over whatever metal it is (someone here said Delrin?) keeps it from being too hot or cold. I also have Voodoo ***** in both large and small size aluminum and one in titanium. The Voodoo ***** are very well made and have great weight. I have one of these painted black with the 5 speed pattern engraved on it and like that a lot.
