I have used Ultegra 9speed that I didn't like much for their hand shape, or lack thereof. I switched to Campy 11 speed that matches perfectly with Shimano 9 speed derailer and cassette. I like them a lot in spite of my aversion to Campy in general. But when I get on my LHT with downtube friction 8 speed, I wonder why I fuss with brifters. I like riding a fretless bike. So far this season I keep choosing the LHT for road rides for its downtube friction shifters (and fenders, and load carrying capacity).
