Blykins might be able to clairify it a bit.

The forward facing shifter appears a bit awkward but works out surprisingly well, I like it and will probably stay with it for my new TKO600.
It's actually a lot more than three. The rear position alone has 2 spots, you can rotate the shifter 180 degrees to move it slightly forward, before making the big jump to the mid position.

And I agree with you on the forward facing shifter, in the car it is very natural and works very well. The mid-shift is very direct and actually feels too short and stiff for my tastes. We've done 3 over the years and 2 of them the customers like them but I think they would say they should have stayed with the rear but in the forward position of the rear.
