Mitchel's synchronized transmission or his OD?

[German guy]

Decisions decisions. Any input regarding which makes driving more pleasant? I am considering one of the two options and lean toward the synchronized trans with slightly taller 1st and 2nd gears over the OD system. A separate OD shifter just seems too clunky and takes up a lot of the limited front seat floor space. Constantly having to shift back and forth between high and low and shifting gears as well seems to be a lot of work. I have had cars with OD but they were only really useful at highway speeds to reduce consumption. Anyone who has tried/owned both?
