Anyone useing a Hurst Quarter Stick with a bench seat?

My 70 Swinger has a bench seat.I want too get a Hurst Quarter Stick. At the Super Nats. at E-Town I tried one out at a vendors booth. I liked the action, but found it short in height. I asked sales rep about the reach for this while driveing, he said "you'll have too lean forward a bit, but whats the difference it will be in drive most of the time :shock: ."I told him if it was going too be in drive most of the time why would i be interested in moveing my shifter from the column too the floor, and turned around and left. You think the would have a more knowledgable rep at a national event. Anyway you guys know with a modified drive train you get pushed back in the seat with the launch. How difficult is it too reach for this thing as you being pushed back in the seat at high rpms , looking for second, or third? Anyone useing one with a bench seat?
