The FT100 knob has a plastic "pin" (mold sprue) in the center of the 
shaft hole that must be snapped off (used a small screwdriver) to let 
the knob seat all the way on the shaft. Check to see if your ebay knob 
is the same. As to what is best...strictly a matter of your preference. 
I like the FT100 knob....gave away my stock K2 knob to someone who was 
going to experiment machining off the ridge on the rim.....never heard 
how that worked out.
