Any experience with the SRAM Grip Shift on older Shimano F/R der?

Gripshift/SRAM work just fine on Shimano, granted they are
Shimano-compatible as is the one you linked above. Cheaper and lighter
(plastic parts) too.

There are two kinds of SRAM Gripshifters: their homebrewed 1:1
pull-ratio shifters (usable with X-series derailers), and their 2:1
pull-ratio units designed to work with Shimano derailers.

X-5, only works with a SRAM rear der:

The common MRX line is their Shimano-compatible shifter available in 5-8
speed versions.

Shimano also makes a grip-shifter, which they call RevoShift.

They make these for their normal derailer gear systems, but I also have
one built specifically for the Nexus-8/Alfine gearhubs.
