It depends what you mean by better. "Feel", and throw reduction don't always go hand in hand you know.

Since this is a 1LE sub forum and not 1/4 mile drag strip, as far as shifter "feel" on a road course goes, I was always under the impression it was MGW >Zl1/1LE >Hurst

Do bare in mind though, the engineers did a great job dialling in the ZL1 shifter in their tests on the ring, etc. For that reason alone, spending $$$ to swap out my 1LE for a MGW, is very low on my "what to do next list".

Now as far as throw reductions are concerned, here is a very interesting post below:

Since it took me a lot of time to find this out while reading different threads and websites, I'm hoping that having it in one centralized location will help other C5ers in their search for the SST that might be best suited for them. If you have anything to add, whether a correction on the posted numbers or a SST not on this list, let me know and I will make the necessary updates.
