FWIW, I've got an MGW in my GT, so that'd be my recommendation as well. Though since I personally hate notchiness, I actually fabbed up an extension piece to reduce notchiness without sacrificing the greater precision over the OEM pieces.
A weighted shift knob helps the shift lever keep moving once you've got the shift motion started (it's an inertia thing), and I guess you could say it sort of absorbs some of the notchiness as it helps your right arm power through it. I'm pretty sure that it's possible to overdo this 'weighting' thing, though.

You can have to much weight. At a certain point it becomes a bad thing for the transmission. Or so I’ve heard. I’m not a transmission specialist.
