For Honda yes, but not for FTO. However they do make aftermarket piggy back for FTO though.

Is it worth it? I heard they are shorter but harder to shift?

Only harder for those who can't drive manual properly, as they keep putting it into 5th instead of 3th, or worst, miss a gear completely.

I had short shifter in my other cars before, they are very handy & much easier to shift in my opinion.
