Does a weighted shift knob help shifter feel?

I've had stock (199 g), Beatrush aluminum Q50BR (153 g), Blitz (108 g), and Killer B (90 g). Of those, the Beatrush is my favorite. The metal material and the lighter weight makes it feel very mechanical and direct (i.e., not rubbery at all). Shifts are a little notchier than I'd prefer, but otherwise really good. I also like the size/shape and the way it sits lower than stock, which reduces throw distance. Not a whole lot, but enough to notice the difference when switching back to stock.

I'm curious what the Beatrush titanium Q45BR knob (192 g) would feel like. I don't think I'd like the smaller size as much (that's what she said lol), but the increased weight might reduce notchiness.
