A body with an A833 and a Gear Vendor installed

I can't speak about the performance of the passion 5-speed but I do constantly see people complaining about having to wait months or years for their 5 speed to arrive from them. I have seen the gear vendors option for the a833 but at that price point, I am not sure if I would be more inclined to going with the gear vendors unit, or just getting the TKX as a 5-speed instead. There are many pros and cons to both I guess
I just do know that for my small block low power numbers, I definitely don't need a T56 and I would also like to avoid all the additional body work involved with that one as well.
