Mine's pretty heavy, but i was more worried about shift height than weight. I just wanted something that sat lower than stock and matched the interior. Here's some pics I found online of the one I have (sorry i don't have any of it in my car):

Heavier. The S2K leather/metal knob has some weight to it. I love mine.

Agree, the S2000/TSX knobs are a lot heavier than the stock one and feel much better. They are heavy metal, the stock CLS knob feels like plastic.

I had the TSX knob, but I just went to a TL MT knob and I like the look but it is nowhere as nice as the S2000/TSX knobs. Even the top metal piece on the TL knob is cheap metal.

Now I know why the S2000/TSX knobs retail at $115 or so.

I got a leather Momo knob. Those all-metal knobs can burn your hand in the summer like that guy in Indiana Jones.

swapped on an s2000 knob a little over an hour ago, weight felt good, threaded on a lot nicer, but didnt like that it didnt have as much girth as the TL knob - and the clip on the TL knob makes for a much cleaner/nicer look.

I have a weighted knob, it's sits lower and I feel as though the weigh makes the shift a little smoother.

Can you say burning hot in the summer & freezing cold in the winter?
Other then that it looks nice.
