I have to dissent, my hands get numb on brevets regardless of shifter type, brifter or barcon.
What I have found that I do prefer is (gasp) anatomic bars. Since I am very tall, I ride in the drops a lot when it's windy and that is a sure reciepe on the Nitto Noodles for numb hands. I don't have nearly as many problems with my Ritchey anatomic bars. But alas they do not come in bright silver.
