I believe the R-600's and 700's are part of the "High Grade" line and are basically the same level as Ultegra.
I have a set of Sora short reach shifters on my cross bike and to tell the truth I don't find that they are much different feeling (as far as how my hand fits them that is) than any of the other ones that I have. I think I can maybe get an extra finger tip around them??

My road bike has R700's and ultegra. I love them- the reach is soooooo nice (I can ride the drops on descents and still break- not something I could do on my old bike). While I've never used DA and don't know what that's like, I find the shifting is great (My old bike had ultegra shifters and a 105 front derailler- the R700/ultegra combo works much better).
