The '07 shifter is longer and feels fine. The problem is, and has always been, the steel tip wearing the aluminum ears creating a sloppy tip. Give me an all steel shifter like the Pampera has, I'll gladly take the extra few ounces.
I got tired of waiting so what I do now is build up the worn tips with HTS-2000 brazing rod, reshape it on a belt sander, and redrill and tap the hole for M6. An M6 screw with loctite holds the tip and doesn't turn so it stays tighter longer. I fixed four shifters like this, takes me less than an hour each.
