I love the shifter and you will as well. After having this, I wouldn't go back to a column shift. Great usability. I wanted the console and the Bose system. It's so easy to use and the park button is on the top of the shifter and so easily accessible. This isn't your ordinary console shifter you're thinking about. For park, just push the button on top the shifter and you're in park. No moving the shifter. For reverse, push the side thumb button and release it then push the shifter forward. If you're going from reverse to drive, just pull back on the shifter (don't need to push the side button again). When going from park to drive, push and release the side button then pull down. You don't have to hold the button in to go into drive or reverse. There's also a neutral selector. There's a manual shift and the +/- paddles are on the steering wheel. It's awesome and really cool.
