I'm gonna do the clutch stop.
DIY with some part info here
I like the idea of consistency that comes with a clutch stop.
For the less than $5 it costs to do, it's worth evaluating in my book.

Consistency is accuracy. It gives you a landmark for travel-to-engagement. I sit pretty far back so I don't even come close to hitting the existing stop.
I'd rather hit a stop and have a known distance to engagement...
If I don't like it or feel it doesn't do anything, I'll remove it and eat the $4.

This was exactly the case when I installed my CDV Delete valve, but then started realizing that rev-matches were possible after installing it, where before it wasn't.
(It was still very difficult because of the throttle lag, but that's another story)
I don't think the difference is HUGE in feel, but it definitely opens the door to better clutch control possibilities. I don't really think changing to another valve (if you already have the Zeckhausen valve) is going to make any difference for you though.
my CDV is gone too. Way better without it
It's weird. I took mine out years ago but I didn't notice a difference with it there and not there. I had no problem rev-matching every downshift whether it be a grandma single gear rev-match or super aggressive double clutch triple gear skip match...LOL. I guess I just got used to it. Anybody feel the same as me? Or am I just smokin' something?
