Its all good, everyone has their preferences with their knob..

The Isotta one feels surprisingly nice... After a few weeks of driving around with it, Im quite used to it now.

The large surface area at the top of the knob is good for resting my palm on when I'm not shifting gears.

The knob is also quite heavy and is much easier to transition between gears with the momentum from the knob.

Its also nice to have different finishes on the knob as well (matt metal at the back, chrome on the sides and soft leather on the top)... all round, its a good knob to have and I'd highly recommend it. :D

Sure its a bit big, but Ive got pretty big hands... The stock one was like a gorilla paw grabbing a grape...

HOWEVER, the knob does sit a litle tall... Might get the short shifter to make the knob sit 2-3cm lower... THEN it will be perfect 8)
