My car prior to this, by two weeks, was an 05 S2000 (they had a great lease in Aug 05 at $297 a month). I think that is a big reason why I felt like I needed to make the LETSLA and what I tried to make it feel like. After 3 years of driving the S2000 it just felt natural and the Elise did not. The shifter feel on the S2000 was nice for sure, quick and smooth. The shifter on the Elise with the LETSLA now feels much closer to the S2000 and I am totally happy with it as it feels natural. I feel like I can feel the transmission again and what it going on. I can once again drive without the clutch all day long with no issues.

how does it compared to a Honda S2000 shifter? I consider that the benchmark for shifter throw and feel.

I have a short throw shifter on my Cobra, and even though it's accurate and short throw its is still miles away from the S2k stock shifter. The S2k shifts like toggle switches while my Cobra shift like I'm moving a hammer thru water. (right now, even with both shifter reinforcement mods, my Exige S still feels like shifting wet noodles.)
