You don't really notice it being that its on the side. Plus it blends in most of the time, just looks noticeble here because of the lighting. Several members on here have the voodoo knob. I believe that the aluminum voodoo knobs are 175 grams while my blox knob is nearly 3x heavier at 450 grams. Shifting is more precise and effortless as the heavier knob really navigates itself into gear easily. I like that there is a little bit of space between the bottom of the knob and the boot because of the feel of putting your pinkie and ring fingers under the knob for a better grip.
Shift Knobs?

Nice, I also like the metal shift knobs from Blox. I would get one if it wasn't so cold where I live. With a metal knob I'd probably freeze my hand to it in the winter!
Now, how do I rationalize getting a "summer" shift knob like this in addition to the COBB one?

Ran one of these for awhile.
Sickspeed neochrome knob. After awhile the "neo" rubbed off in a few spots and just became chrome. Back to stock for now as I prefer the weight, looking for a heavy neochrome knob better suited to my hand.

ps for anyone with the blox knobs that doesn't like the gap between the knob and the boot, remove the shifter boot, screw the nut that came with the knob onto the shifter (it'll take some trial and error to get the knob to be tight with the lettering right side up), then reinstall the boot, and knob.

I might give a Blox a try, I know a place in SF that sells them for the same price as online.
I like my Garage Star knob but it sits way too low for me, so I'm back to stock for a while. Maybe I'll just get an extension.
