As someone who's had 3 rotary knob Rams and now my first with the console shifter.
I found the storage in the center console with the rotary knob to be great, and plentiful. However, for me, it just became a cluttered mess of paperwork, elk/deer calls and whatever else it eats up.
I haven't really felt much of a storage difference switching to the console shift, it feels natural and just feels right. And the giant pit of storage under the arm rest still holds everything I need.
I prefer the console shift with the covered cupholders. However, the only draw back is the small tight area of storage in front of the cup holder
