Turbo Action Cheetah Question

Getting ready to upgrade my shifter (currently B&M Starshifter). I narrowed my choices to either a Turbo Action Cheetah or B&M Quicksilver shifter.

I know that the cable routing on the TA is better, but I had several B&Ms and know how to route the cable properly. Never burned one since I use a protective heat sleeve as well. Money is not the deciding factor, looks and ergonomics are.

What I like to know is, how tall is the TA Cheetah when installed in a A-body car (73 Swinger)? How is the shift feel and ease of operation? I also like to know if I can take the switch and housing of the lever as I have no use for it.

So, if you run a TA shifter please answer my questions. Thanks!
