The spoon looks smaller, but it's hard to tell from those pictures. I don't think there is a big difference from either.

- they look the same on your car.

- spoon has a wider base ( [ ] ) whereas alex is more egg shaped ( \ / )

- spoon is a tad bit lighter for both knobs are hallow

- spoon is countersunk 5-10mm lower than alex




i have the spoon knob, love it.

i just shipped out a spoon Ti and the total wieght of the knob, original packaging and the envelope was a whopping 2.7 ounces.

it was too light for my tastes.im used to a weighted knob so i went back to what i like.
