I think most people can move from brifters to bar-ends without much trouble, although I wouldn't consider it a necessary move on either Riv road bike. In my opinion downtubers are for those who grew up with them, or are REALLY committed to the look and simplicity. I did grow up with them, but it's not my thing. I like shifters on the bars.
