The stock one is pretty spongy feeling. I have ridden a few Banshee's that have the billet shifters on them and they do make a difference. I would say worth the $80. Try Cascade at 503-663-2887 for thier Gear Slammer.
The stock one can be reinforced by re-welding it and then welding a stiffener down the length of the shifter. A small piece of round stock, about 3/16" works good. Run a good bead from the lug that slips over the shift shaft down the stiffener rod.
