I'm hung up on the same quandary my self ! Just about to mount a set
of Jagwire barcon mounts to a Mercian:

Think I'll transplant the shifters from a set of 9sp Shiman DA rather
than use a set of DT 7sp shifters in friction mode. Better for go-fast
group rides me think.

Just for the record; I've found that barend shifters reduce the
likelihood of developing numb and tingling hand and fingers due to to
static positioning, that is often caused from using Ergopower/STI
shifters on longer breve's.
