The one from MK is "average" but with a bit of fettling can be made good. Have you thought about a control cable shift instead?

Is cable better than linkages for gear change?
What is everyones opinion of linkages vs cable for gear change.
Surelly linkages are more positive than cables, if cables are better where can i buy one, not got the time to make myself.
Thanks

I broke my cable change this week, the first time I actually used it properly. It wasn't fitted by me so I'd not really paid attention to
how it was installed and set up. Badly as it turned out.
To avoid problems like I had it appears that you need to install it between two brackets that don't flex at all. Ideally you should also limit
the travel at the lever/paddle. Too easy to pull it too far otherwise.
Anyway, I had a linkage with rods before and I'm going back to that. I'm certain I could make a cable work but I like how robust a linkage
is. YMMV.
