I use the levers that David mentions on a couple of my bikes. One set has seen about 4000 miles of frequent braking and still works perfectly.
No reason to spend more IMO. Eric Tektro makes them or made them at some point. Here's an eBay listing for them: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Tektro-RL740-Road-Bicycle-Bike-V-Brake-Levers-Silver-/361568158165?hash=item542f2441d5:g:rDYAAMXQLw1Rz0YG <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FNew-Tektro-RL740-Road-Bicycle-Bike-V-Brake-Levers-Silver-%2F361568158165%3Fhash%3Ditem542f2441d5%3Ag%3ArDYAAMXQLw1Rz0YG&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNF8LD9_0ymgeLedsWNGLckMIf2UVQ> I vaguely recall Riv stocking these at some point in the past.
