'Nother nice thing about DT vs. barcon shifters - you only need one hand to do the shifting. Also, I figure if I'm riding on the brake levers most of the time and I'd have to move my hand down to the end of the bar to shift (well, both hands, depending upon the gear desired) I might as well move it a little further to the DT. Seems like DT shifters also train you to shift only when you really need to - I've ridden along with people who have brifter-equipped bikes and all I ever heard was shifting going on for the slightest little rise or drop in elevation.
