Have you considered the Voodoo Titanium counter-sunk knob from "Rick's"?
It's 284 grams and is a bit cheaper:

Since you say you like the feel of your existing Voodoo, the Titanium one won't feel any different to hold. It'll just be heavier. I went from the spun pearl Aluminum to the Titanium myself.

Yes, it is. I can't remember the exact weight of the OEM Ti. It's around 200g, give or take.

Skunk 2 makes one a "5spd" very heavy, also I did see ONE and only ONE on this site that someone was trying to sell with the 6 spd I missed it, short on cash and lucked out. , but my 5spd one was super heavy.

Bring your favorite shift knob to a machine shop and have them lathe you one of similar shape out of brass. That should be more than heavy enough for you.
