The Blaine Fabrication Delrin shift knob is available for C4/C5 and 4thgen Fbody fitments, and others if thread size and shifter dimensions are supplied. I stock the following diameters in black Delrin:

1 1/8" : for small hands

1 1/4" : for average size hands - the knob in the pic above is this size

1 1/2" : for large hands

My standard height is 4", with the knob sunk on the shifter stalk about the same as the OEM knob, so it will stick up about 2" higher than the OEM knob, bringing it closer to the level of the drivers hands on the steering wheel.

Customs are available: other diameters, white instead of black Delrin, other thread sizes, taller (or shorter). These are made to order - if I can make it with stock material and tooling it is stock price, if I have to puchase material or tooling then it is custom price

Introductory pricing:
stock material and fitment : $55 plus shipping plus CA sales tax for shipments to CA address.
custom material or fitment : $65 plus shipping plus CA sales tax for shipments to CA address.

Is there a functional reason to go with these knobs or is it more the "coolness" factor to have C6R style shift knobs?

I have the factory Hurst leather on both of mine and don't have much trouble shifting.

these were around long before the C6R. Lou has had them @ LGM for a few years for the C5. i tried to get them to make me one for an F-body and was always left w/ empty promises.

I have one of these and have used it for several years. Mine was from hardbar.net and was a copy of what Pratt&Miller were doing. The reason behind the material choice was supposedly delrin doesn't conduct heat.
Get in the car on a hot steaming day and the knob isn't hot. In a race car with gloves on it shouldn't be a factor. I put it in the cmc car because I had it left over from my black car and the coolness factor. Also the vertical grip idea makes some sense. I wish I had time to tell the story about finding the tap needed to fit it to a 3rd gen. If any need this tap let me know.
