I have the Moose DG & it is well built. The thumb lever is in a different location as far as initial spot but its because it has a different leverage than stock. I like it and the feel of the thumb throttle. As for the twist portion, it's easy to take the slack out and a lot of guys do, but riding desert I kind of like the slight slack & don't want a quicker turn (its already 1/4 turn). Having that twist is a great option to have when you're riding for hours and you start getting thumb cramp.
