Need help deciding!

I've got an 88 trans am 305 tpi automatic with a 4th gen center console...i was thinking on goin with a 4th gen dash...but i love the third gen gauges and how they are set up...what would be the best way to go... keep the 3rd gen dash or upgrade? Also i have a megashifter (not installed)...i was thinking of selling it and puttin in a 5 speed...my question is what are the benifits of the megashifter opposed to the 5 speed?

Stick with the 3rd gen dash. The 4th gens don't fit quite right on the top and leaves a space on each side of the dash due to them being shorter. I like the 5 speed but it is a bit of work.....Good luck
