Bench Seat Column Shift Vs Bucket Console Shift

I've always been a bench seat 4 speed or column auto guy on a-bodies.
I never liked the looks of an automatic console in an a-body. Or for that matter, the Barracuda/340 dash either.
I went with the buckets in my Dart Sport because it's what i had that was in decent shape.
I also find that you tend to sit lower with bucket seats, maybe one of the reasons i like the bench seat more is because i'm a short ****! lol.
