I haven't looked at other SRAM. The problem I'm having is that both shifters are thumb-operated. One is behind the other and my thumb just doesn't reach the further one without bending my wrist all the way under (or back - it's hard to explain). It just isn't comfortable or efficient. The Shimano uses thumb and finger. I'm more comfortable with that setup.

I'm a little disappointed because I bought a higher end model because I do like to get the best I can afford (or need). I test rode a different model in the store for size, then ordered the "better" one, not realizing that the shifters would be so different.
